Sadness – Poetry by Dr Ali
SADNESS
Majid Ali, M.D.
In this section, I offer two poems from my book entitled “Drone Democracy” available at www.18006336226.com. The list of poems appears at the end of this firs poem.
Sadness
What is betrayal?
Letters to spell life.
What is suffering?
More letters to spell life.
And deep disappointments?
Two words to spell life.
Hey M.,
What do you expect?
Aren’t you human?
Hey, M.,
Please don’t forget
You’re Divine.
It is human
Is to be vulnerable
And hurt.
To be Divine
Is to be pliable
And heal.
It is human
To misspell reality
And suffer “mis-reality.”
It is Divine
To know one’ divinity
And to live truth
And breathe liberty
What is revenge?
Life misspelled.
Anger?
Confused thoughts un-quelled.
Hate? Rage?
Habituated to misspellings.
What is forgiveness?
An empty word for nothingness
Of it all.
Forgiveness is universal,
Screamed a TV preacher.
The believers believed.
The great spirit
Had tweeted the creature.
For mere mortals,
Confusion fuses
Forgiveness with sadness,
Clarity separates the two,
Gives form to sadness,
Sadness,
A steady companion of life.
To be
Honored,
Celebrated,
Cherished
So, the journey of sadness
Meanders through understanding
And resilience,
Delineating the core
Of the soul.
Sadness sires understanding,
Understanding liberates,
Liberty, levity of the soul,
Soul awakens love.
Love begets more love,
In living with sadness
Life is spelled right.
The soul’s core blossoms
Releasing a body long tight.
The right spelling of life.
Through sadness
Finally,
What did you expect?
Seriously?
