Fooling





 

Fooling myself 
Fooling everyone
Faking a smile 
Hiding in the mundane 
Not looking in the mirror 
Not wanting to face myself 
Longing for solitude 
To hear myself breathe 
Listen to the falling rain 
The fire crackling 
Ice melting in the glass.
Needing to appease denying sincerity 
Disowning serenity 
Living like a fool.
Why the torture
                                                                     Who cares?                                                                  I do.

My Brother My Love

Leave the tears for last for now all I need is solace or silence No need for profundity You can sit by me  In unity  against this grave peril Wa can pretend  We’re having coffee on my porch  Talking about politics  Or cars Let’s forget for a moment  These are vailed goodbyes  Let’s reminisce  About our childhood  That seems so long ago  It may have been  A myth  Remind me that once  We were young and brave  Care free,  generous Let’s not talk about regrets  There may be too many  Don't make waiting  More unpleasant  By forced cheer  Hold my hand So I can feel your love  For all that matters now  Is love.

Courage

  When you are in the depths of despair, And you think you’ve hit bottom, You just keep on plowing deeper. When you don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel, You just keep on walking until you see the shining light. When you think all doors are closed, Even though you knocked on them all Remember, there are doors that will open just for you. When you feel you’re utterly alone, Remember, you’re never alone because God is always with you. Remember you’re a fighter, Remember you’re strong, Remember you’re resilient, Remember you have people to lean on, Remember your faith, Remember, after every storm the sun comes out And we’re blessed with a rainbow.

THERE IS NO GLORY IN MARTYRDOM ANYMORE

Mothers,  don't tell your sons to be soldiers when they grow, Fathers,  don't ask your sons to pick up your gun, To fight your wars, They don't want to inherit your enemies. Stop the cycle End the killing Much blood has been shed by now. Teach your children that we are one Teach them to share this Earth, Be tolerant and compassionate  So they learn to do the same For their fellow human beings, Teach them respect for life. Love them so they can love themselves And others. We don't need more martyrs There is no glory in martyrdom anymore. Armine Amirian Zohrabian March 03, 2013 There is no glory in martyrdom anymore
