IN MY WORLD

Where the sky is full of rainbows
and birds are singing

Where the grass is green and
the sky is blue

Where people love each other and
take care of each other

This is my world

Instead

The real world is backwards
and upside down

People are for lust not love
war not peace

People can't stand on another
they must kill and hurt

Children and animals of all kinds,
are getting abused and neglected

There is no more blue sky
only gray clouds and polluted air

The land and sea is polluted
so the birds must leave

And I must go with,
away from everything

Away in my world

By Tritia (aka caredawg)

"BE LOVES WILLING SLAVE"

A Poem by Jelal_ud_dir Rumi - submitted by: Dantheman

Come and be Love's willing slave,
for Love's slavery will save you.
Forsake the slavery of this world
and take up Love's sweet service.
The free, the world enslaves,
but to slaves Love grants freedom.
I crave released from this world
like a bird from its egg;
free me from this shell that clings.
As from the grave, grant me new life.
O Love, O quail in the free fields of spring,
wildly sing songs of joy.

"UNTITLED"

A poem by Jelal_ud_dir_Rumi - submitted by: Dantheman

Where have you gone
the settler of my soul?
Did you fly away
or hide in your home?
As soon as you saw
the loyalty of my heart
you turned around and
flew like a bird.
Your vision captured
the wandering of our spirits.
Then away from the crowd,
you journeyed in solitude.
You went away so quick,
as though you were
a morning breath
carrying a flower's aroma.
But you really didn't fly away
as a bird or a breeze.
You were created from God's light.
you went immersed in His glow.
