This world will continue to go around
In the stillness of silence
listen to an unquavering still small voice

"Be
        still
                and
                        know 
                                    that
                                            I am God"

we live in an old world
an “era of junk” *
the old and the new blooms are dying
with each droplet of tears from the human eye
the world is going through a new cycle
 regeneration, rebirth
the old has gone, the new has come.

“BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth. “

Saving this Generation

We often heard tough men says, ‘let us save this generation’
Save from whom?
Save from where?
Save from what?

From antipathy? From World War 3?
or from the diseases brought by new rendezvous
new drugs conceived and invented
a multi-billion business of rich
and the hungry for fame and money

Poor guinea pigs, poor, poor countries!

illicit connivance
like my perfume illicit fragrance
smells so good to me
too tempting not to engage
let’s save this generation
from the wrath of the Highest                                                             
who burned Sodom and Gomorrah
do not look back, do not even try!

But, wait...
“Can we regenerate this world with our poetry?
With our friendship, will it become new?”
