MAYS (a poem by Ambali Abdulkabeer)

Read Time:1 Minute, 1 Second
May this land live again
in hopes that age not

May the songs of flying birds
return to the trees of this land

May everything blurry for us to see
become beautiful memories for us to hang on

May the skies devoid of stars
tap energy from generous rain

May this land smile as every season
visits with loads of promises

May the roads be clear for the air of rebirth
& the streets be free of draping agonies

May the moon shine unhindered
through the roofs of our dying crevices

May this land find its way out
of its tributary of blood unhurt

May this land grow clever & stronger
than the pestilence of time

May the dead forgive this land
& their du'ā be healing rain to our scars.
