WRONG NAMES

Amel M. Jassim


WRONG NAMES

Human always blame wolves

For killing just to survive

And a man who has loaves

Would from others deprive.

Should animals be called wild?

Good merits be called humane?

Both terms are no more valid

For each action are unlike domain

Words should be more accurate

To name objects as they are built

To know that a defender is a patriot

And terrorist who makes tumult

-~-~-

A Man

Discovering all what you say is a fake

A mystery found in Top of The Lake

You never want to give but take

And never want to miss a part of the cake

Using smooth skin like a poisoning snake

Even if you update your archaic

You will surely lose all what you like

Nor any heart you will shake

When will you stop or take a break?

To reach manhood for Heaven’s sake?

~-~-~

Remediation

Why is there hatred

Why making betrayal

Of this we can get rid

By following love tutorial

Why there is a criminal

Why there is a cheater

Let’s be more rational

And be peace tweeter

Just start this signal

There must be no later

For humanity not regional

Be sedater for hater
