she loves her Dad
more than she shows
in her eyes love
for him glows
father and daughter
very up close
Marziya and her camera eyes
envisioning Firoze
in our garden the birth of a rose
a special gift to the shakirs
that god chose
It takes two hands to clap
The humility
Of a condescending cheek
At the sound of a slap
Man his karmic destiny
Born in a trap
The running rivers of sorrow
On mans evolutionary map
Every step trodden ends in mishap
A slip between the cup and lip
The generation gap
Bleeding the soul white
The miseries of the flesh
Tied to a strap
Livingly unloving
Life put on to dry
On a clothesline
As the Lord takes a nap
Dying hopes in the winds
As they flap
An image an illusion
On the soul as bitmap
she sees the world
with the innocence in her eyes
a world full of vivre de joe
beneath the layer another layer
covering a layer of falsity and lies
happiness a commodity
the shop keeper sells
the gullible buys
religious rhetorics
a single word
and millions die
war the means to an end
converting hell
into a lifeless paradise
every face on cybernet
in total disguise
sweet words of endearment
that intoxicate and entice
who will bell the racist cat
a thought like loaded dice
a world of a mouse trap
for the black mice
racism is alive and kicking
you dont need to realise
silent screams
tear gassed cries
a crucified messiah
a decapitated head of hussain
man killing man
muslims killing muslims
as human blood seeps rots and dries
the unborn child of man
truly mesmerized
enters the planet of the apes
to be marooned in hate
capsized
That she is a chip
of a block of a block
I dont need to remind
Poetic pictorial Marziyas Mind
our gift of a grand daughter
Allah has been kind
a new tag Marziya Shakir
Google search and find
hordes of facial expression
as she unwinds
one month ten days old
her world seen through
venetian blinds
marziya a month and 10 days old
on this planet fresh as breeze
a new world with her little innocent
eyes she sees
peace lynched hangs humanless
on trees
man a creature even god cant please
saintliness hand in hand with sleaze
the soul like dead wood waiting for release
marziya and my camera the best of friends
compatibilty of characters no rules to bend
adding a new dimension holistic healing
to make amends
broken down fences with a smile she mends
an oath of honor she spiritually defends
ya hussain a cry for peace
on the firmament of karbala suspends
tears of a 1400 year pain
ghame hussain
to tend
majlis matam
azadari
her first moharam
to attend
black clothes of mourning
the silence of her soul
unwept tears as it blends
kule yomin ashura
echoes of a shia angst
transcends
beyond a world without borders
as it extends
hussain is humanity
a global thought
of brotherhood of pain
portends
live like ali die like hussain
a message
within a message
with the fresh breath of her life she sends
hussainiyat a path to Allah it recommends
trampling yazidiyat
misguided terrorism
on the soul of Islam
a jehad
to be fought till the very end
marziya sleep talks
dreaminess a music
in mindlessness that rocks
featherless flight of fancy
spanning spirtuality
of doves soaring like hawks
innocence
the bedrock of the human soul
mysteries unlocks
caressing curiosity
no future shocks
