RULE OVER ASHES

In my country where shadows loom,

Ruler cast a pall of gloom.

When Justice Call,

Students stands tall.

They sacrificed their lives,

Answering the call.

They accepted martyrdom,

To bring justice for all.

To rule a nation

To rule a country,

Killing is the only key

Ruler thinks as glory.

Thousands were killed,

Thousands were harmed

Rule over Ashes,

Is the way she learn.

If cruelty brings you joy

Then you're no human.

If you enjoy ruling over dead bodies

Then you're no human.

A heart of flesh, full of compassion

In merciless acts, finds no fashion.

In false joy finds only hollow

A human's path they cannot follow.

Every single life matters

Is the song we play,

In the blink of time

Justice leads the way,

When darkness falls

We'll light the night,

With patience and hope

We'll set things right.

ABOUT THE POEM: This poem reflects the belief that healing and hope can rise even after the darkest times.

THE VOICE UNSEEN

A heart full of passion,

And eyes full of dreams.

Her voice so warm, so sweet,

Flowed gently like a stream.

She sang her best,

No soul could stand against.

They heard a voice,

Yet judged her face.

"Talent without beauty,

Has no place to begin.

Just look at every star,

They sing, and beauty lets them in."

She left her hope,

With tears unseen.

Talent lost to beauty,

Like countless broken dreams.

ABOUT THE POEM: The Voice Unseen tells the story of a gifted girl whose extraordinary voice is ignored because of her appearance. Despite her remarkable talent, she is rejected by judges who value beauty over ability. The poem exposes the unfair standards that silence countless gifted people. It reflects the pain of broken dreams and overlooked potential. Ultimately, it reminds us that true talent should never be measured by outward beauty. (This poem reveals society's Dark Side Of Valuing Beauty Over Talent.)

THE LOVING GIRL

A girl I saw in my dream,

Black long hair she has, like a queen.

The eyes of the girl is black,

Mountain is the place she love.

The girl wants to live, beside the sea

But never went, to the heart of the sea.

The girl love to see the Moon,

Moon lover is her tune.

The girl wants to travel the world,

For this, she wants to be the bird.

The girl I saw in my dream,

Black long hair she has, like a queen.

ABOUT THE POEM: This poem portrays a girl shaped by poet's dream, freedom, and a deep love for nature. It celebrates the beauty of imagination and the quiet hopes that live within the human heart.

BEYOND SURRENDER

When my heart played the fool,

My mind began to rule.

It made me run,

To where my fears were undone.

My mind whispered a truth divine,

“Don’t surrender, this is your time.

The horizon is not the finish line,

Understand this and you will shine.”

ABOUT THE POEM: This poem is about finding inner strength when life feels overwhelming. It reminds us that hope, resilience, and self-belief can lead us beyond surrender toward healing.

LIBERTY OR DEATH

They took our country from us,

They took our lands from us.

Yet could not chain our voice,

Nor silence freedom's poise.

They burnt our homes to dust,

They crushed our dreams unjust.

But still we rise with flame,

With liberty in name.

They're harming our people,

They're killing our lives.

They are the most punishable,

In depth of our eyes.

Are you people ready for

Liberty or death?

Our goal stands for

Liberty or death.

Our freedom is our breath,

Our oath is liberty or death.

We'll break their chain,

Or perish in the rain.

ABOUT THE POEM: Inspired by the wish of Freedom.
