I Am Kashmir
On
The News Tribe [Pakistan]
We Speak News [India]
I Am Kashmir
rat
a
tat
tat
ya hear that?
another round
locked, and loaded
where boys,
are forced to be
men
and women
are raped
and children,
throw
stones
until a bullet hits the skin
piercing within
the gentle flesh that God made
My skin is worn
my heart,
heavy
and my mind,
must constantly evade
the darkness
Yet I am light
and my spirit
it IS strong
it flies with the midnight moon
chasing stars
supernovas
faster than the speed of light
stronger than the wind
more powerful than the sun herself
shining
celestial majestic divinity . . .
Aged.
I am
Kashmir.

How Do I Explain?
how do i explain
the sunset
when she drapes herself elegant
climbing through tree limbs
still green with summer
dappling brick buildings
causing brown to change to burnt sienna
how do i explain
a solitary leaf
each vein sprawling
as arteries and veins
spreading life
throughout one being
how do i explain
the rushing wind
as she kisses my cheeks
gracing my face
as the touch of an angel
on a summer's eve
it is how one would explain a science
of chemistry and emotion
all six senses alive and acute
stirring and spinning
as Autumn leaves unberthed from their rest
it is as difficult to explain my love for you
as simple as it is
to love you.

“I just wrote this after someone tried to tell me that oil (and the spill and how we can stop drilling to avoid further combat) has nothing to do with war and this person said “No its all religion” (and tried to tell me about religion) and really at this point there are 300 reasons why we are at war and none of it is of any worth so here it goes: I just named it . . .”
