A WALK DOWN THE LANE
It's a different year and a different teacher. A good teacher, a caring teacher can bring out the best in any child.
English assignment. Learning to write different types of poetry. I hope you find them interesting.
So won't you take a walk with me down ' Lane's ', lane.
_____________________________________
“Blueprints to Change the World”
Mothers and Fathers, children of all,
Brothers and Sisters, unite to the call!
Look around and see the city slums,
And listen to what is to come.
No weapons, just words profound,
Will be enough to shake the ground!
Can you hear the shuffling of feet?
An ocean of people, move through the street.
Rise like lions after deep sleep,
Listen to the sounds as your children weep!
Rise like the phoenix in rebirth,
Born from the ashes of our earth!
And when it’s all said and done,
The bells will sing “We have won!”
The dawning of a new day,
Fresh air after springs rain.
Though today we conquer,
This war is far from over.
Because the wind, it seems to say,
The storm is brewing for another day.
-----------------------------------------------
....... “All That’s Left”
A shining glimmer of light,
In the darkest of midnights,
The darkness of oppression,
The darkness of aggression,
Hope forever shines bright.
-----------------------------------
.......
...........“Hypocrite”
Who are you to judge?
To despise, hate, hold a grudge.
You’ll be here today, and tomorrow,
And though your words bring sorrow,
I will not budge.
-----------------------------------------------
“Fidel Castro”
When I see you
As brittle as a bird,
Longing to once more take flight
I think of when,
You lead from the front,
And they could not touch you
could not kill you,
could not break you.
A stone, a rock, solid, unchanged.
Though blinded by communism,
Like a man corrupted with sin,
Strayed away from the flock.
You are my enemy,
You are my idol.
Ideology and ways totally different
from me,
I still cry as you take your final bow.
----------------------------------------------
.... “Answer This”
What is this darkness?
That prey’s on our weakness.
Nature of man?
Or the grip of Satan’s hand?
Pray for deliverance.

He's a talented young man! I particularly liked the first one though I was a trifle piqued by the word 'blueprint' in the title since the poem is not just about a plan but also about galvanizing the masses into action: 'unite to the call...rise like lions...like the phoenix..."
That is indeed some powerful writing.
Nice, quite good for his age.
u r right.. a good teacher can make all the difference. Having said that, it is also true that he is a very creative and sensitive person too.
Agreed.. a good teacher matters a lot.. quite intelligent young guy to write all this.. impressive!!
Take care
70% of the universe is dark. I liked the verse, nature of man or the grisp of Satan's hand.
as far as the judgment verse is concerned, we all judge, to question about judgment is judging itself. It's in our nature, and we judge 100 times daily from very little things to major ones.
hi!
Its so lovely to come to your blog....found it a facinting read, not to mention that am bowled over by your talented grandson...
the storm post was a lovely read and the underlying love and concern of your family was so touching.
Id it is,
Yes it is powerful.
I am curious to see what path he will take as an adult.
The T-Dude,
Hi, thanks for the visit. Yes pretty good he surprised.
How do we know,
I can't argue with that, sensitive he is.
Hi Samrina,
Thank you for visiting.
Nabeel,
I think there is at least one phrase in each one of his poems that I favor, 'I will not budge', is so like him.
It's so good to see you are back. You've bee gone for such a long time.
Hi Pinku,
Thank you for visiting my site.
I liked all of these poems, but the one that had the most effect on me was one that I put in the post before this one. It brought tears to my eyes when I read the last line. I had no idea that he was capable of such a love story, so much emotion.
done. changed the gui back. thanks for dropping by and leaving your feedback. i appreciate it.
Abbas,
Thank You.

You're a b'tful poet.

AlooFar,
Thank you for the visit. I'm glad you like the poems, but I didn't write them the author is my sixteen year old Grandson. His poetry is much better then mine.
