Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Profound, amazing poem, Malak! Excellent parallel structure created by the repetition of your first lines. You’ve captured much of the state of the world with forceful images and observations. The compassionate do not rest, refugees find jail, the young die before their time, politicians abandon ethics. True, so true. Great poem!! By, Linda Powers O’Dell
Thank you for the honor and the review for my poetry. I’m always humbled by your comments.
Bodies of Death
Bodies of the world,
Whose blood runs red,
Whose compassionate souls
Never rest on behalf of victims’ hells.
Bodies of diverse diaspora
You’ve run in many directions like magma,
Setting a furor of ambition wherever
You land to prove yourself a better jailer.
Bodies of heavenly death
Speak on behest of lost souls whose breath
Was snuffed too young to comprehend
The fervor to achieve power and behead.
Bodies of the political world,
Your humanity is suspected
Of being lacking in affinity with your
Essence of ethical behavior that’s just not your core.
