The Arabian Dream

by Sunshine   Feb 12, 2015


A fragile cry chanted,
of far-off dreams
lost in the slumber
of unfulfilled hopes,
genuinely sung
from within the cuts
gone sore in our throats,
and the wounds wide-open
between our sealed lips.

A tradition of defeat
on the half sphere of cracks
and fractures burying
martyrs, damages, loss,
and thousands of blood conventions.

A poem-nation of a never-ending war,
a song heard but un-understood,
a dream ambiguous
to this world of deaf
that is blind to the ruins,
that sees but growth and luxury,
such is, the Arabian Dream;

a wish of marching in the light,
when the sun will find no East
to rise from, and beam.
