Look who did I meet
In the street
Where street racers’ engines roar,
As if our town is their private floor
Look who did I meet
In the street
Where street racers’ engines roar,
As if our town is their private floor
It is as it is
But, also now, there’s entertainment
As modest as it is
At least some time can be well spent
Many people today,
Keep plants at home
That give away
Oxygen — so afraid are people today
Our world may turn into a tomb
As people, we can escape from our current place
When it no longer serves our purpose of security
But, often we escape to a safe, soothing sanctuary
It’s only a five minutes walk to the place
It’s not on any map; yet, its my design
It’s shades and blue and green hues are benign
Sun and Moon light foliage, water and friendly beasts
Bugs, criminals or meat hunters can’t have their feast
This place is always safe, soothing, kind, and inspiring
When I’ve been there, I can start daily working

Sometimes I think:
Hadn’t we been so filthy
& Not expanded without boundary
Covid19 could only shrink
I’m glad to say,
It’s on its way 💛
March & April can be cold here
But today, things are nice & clear
The landlord told the police he feared,
All of the beer had disappeared

It looks like a peaceful Spring day
However, police presence is heavy
At my left, you can’t see
The court house of maximum security
A notorious gang is in court today
Today, is World Poetry Day 2021 @}}- https://hajarstexts.com/2019/07/27/poetry-2/
I’ve come to appreciate poetry very much as a means of expression and recording the events of the day in a concise, stylised way. For this occasion, I share a few oldies of my own. Have a great Sunday World Poetry Day @}}-
It’s a great road map
Towards saying your opinion
Without blunt confrontation
And with a gift wrap
https://hajarstexts.com/2013/05/29/poetry/
Not much has more power
Than brief, stylised words
We don’t always need a shower
Of abundance in words
A simple trip to the city center
Where otherwise crowds would enter,
Is a pleasant diversion for my persona
First time since corona
We were told to stay indoors — if we can
I belonged to those who are allowed to work
How little has changed, actually, in a year’s time
Also now we say, ‘Only a few more months’
But now, a Mediterranean Sun vacation is less likely
The State has paid business owners’ rent, also now
Today, people say, covid is to stay coming years
Most of us aren’t used to what now adheres
People elected the same State back, despite its ills
In the end, they trust its anti covid19 policy.
Once you’re gone,
Why leave behind property
For the sake of security?
It may become your millstone
