ZenUS 

My newly born goddess[1]  of union! 

Episode  1 

We were living in the God's mind 

He remembered us and we were fashioned. 

God pronounced us 

and we came into being 

in the figure of antonym words 

so we are the earthly translations of supernal synonym words. 

Though we were born in two separate beings, 

We were created as one thing, 

One heavenly soul in two earthly bodies. 

 

Episode   2

In our Kindergarten of Instincts 

The other demigods  

were playing unconsciously and cheerfully

While we were arrogantly dividing 

the existence during a long destructive war

into two mental separate Worlds: 

Hell and heaven 

War and peace 

Hate and love 

 richness and poverty 

West and East 

South and North 

I and she 

mine and hers…. 

All of the heroic parts for me, Zeus, 

And the entire charming part for my playmate, Venus. 

A half part of me was she 

and a half part of she was I. 

The world was a simple sample of our toy room, 

And we were always at "zero hour" and lapse of time didn't awake 

us.    

 

Episode 3 

After puberty we awaked 

Because we were silently attacked by a common appetizing 

assailant 

and were drunk by "nectar" of forbidden fruit 

and discovered the hidden hemispheres of our needs 

and were exiled to anxiety desert of youth  

We, both, were captured by love's elegant fingers. 

So, the real battle was launched between us 

to capture the other half part of our rival's world. 

When she provocatively knitted her tall hairs 

my pacific ocean of patience became stormy 

and when I frowned, her Equator of desires became frozen. 

She always venerated her beauties with a deep holy respect 

and I always boasted of being powerful. 

She wanted to convert all of my particles to her Lovers 

and I tried to make all of her cells of beauty to my admirers. 

We were so selfishly interested in "ourselves" that we missed and 

forgot our "selves".  

The final war was going on 

and the Third World of our innate needs was reaching to 

maturity zone 

and the other demigods were awaking one after the other, 

unexpectedly. 

We happened in the mind of death 

and lost each other's godly "selves" 

in an annihilated clarity. 

So at our mental palace of Olympus 

we were nightly attacked by other wakeful desires and instincts 

and we ought to flee and fly to skies of wisdom.  

Episode 4 

The skies of wisdom were so crowded  

and we were somewhat unknown for their residents. 

In spite of being stranger, 

we wanted to rule over their territory and the cosmos 

but we were tired and wanted to rest to save our rest of powers 

for the tomorrow "battle of stars". 

We were separately living in each other  

But false pride didn't let us to be united  

as we were in our childhood gnosis. 

None of us could live lonely;  

We needed each other 

Not for peace but for silly wars and crisis 

to be alive and prove our dignity beastly.  

But in the skies of wisdom we had to be united and take place in 

one territory.  

Episode 5 

For resting we found an empty snail-shell 

on the crowded pavement of Milky Way 

but we were such Great heavenly beings! That 

we couldn't "take place" in that cozy furnished territory 

since, that "Space" had been made only for one god!  

And we were two gods! 

so a half part of us left and remained behind the door 

we came out and began to search for a two-spaced Empyrean. 

Meanwhile, we heard a loud voice in that breezy nice night  

the God was smiling and the angels were laughing at us and 

saying: 

    You must stop your useless wars  

    And give up yourself to your mate. 

    Your hearts are my Capital of existence 

    and all the creatures have only one ruler. 

So, we were burnt in our flames of shame 

and disgracefully crept into the same snail-shell. 

The whole God's empyrean were inside    

And it was as large as all created things. 

and the voice was continuously repeated: 

     I am everything but nothing is I. 

     Miss yourselves to find me and your "selves". 

     Because I am your "selves" and you are my "self" 

     You have been unique being at the first 

     and must be united again 

     so leave "yourselves" outside and come in with only your "selves". 

Who was speaking? 

- Every cell of us and existence: 

If you want to reach to unity 

your remaining parts must be tied to your partner's. 

We didn't understand 

and the greatest angle thoughtfully enlightened us 

and explained the paradigm of unity: 

Venus must leave her "VEN" part 

and Zeus must leave his "US" 

the remaining parts are ZE and NUS 

And Zenus is your newly reborn demigod 

with two different natures: ZEN[2]  and US 

that should be coupled again. 

ZEN needs US 

and US needs ZEN 

and the combination is ZENUS 

which is the united states of antonyms. 

And also your missing Utopia. 

You both must stop your habit of self-praising 

And only praise and worship your Lord. 

We whispered voicelessly: but we are demigods… 

He interrupted our "thoughts" and replayed: 

Everything is a demigod 

and God created them in pairs 

but human is superior than the others. 

"human is a small sample of world 

And world is a great sample of human[3] ". 

Each single only can be completed by its "missing part" and your 

"selves" is your missing part of yourselves. 

 

Episode 6 

In the light of delightful youth fruits 

we reached to singleness and global unity 

and returned to our everlasting roots of being 

by drinking the AMBROSIA of wisdom 

and every cell of existence celebrated our victory 

And all the angles said: 

Everyone's chest is the battlefield of these two superpowers

if you want calmness you must make peace between them

Everyone's chest should be the nuptial nest of this bride and

groom. 

Now we are such little nothings! That 

may peacefully occur in an infinite eternity  

even at a timeless part of Silky Way 

in an empty snail-shell.  

Now, we are Zenus 

The united states of antonym desires   

The goddess of unity. 

 

The faith tree  

 

The branches of a tree 

never fight against each other.

But we, users of its shade and fruits,

dogmatically, break the branches 

to make helves and arrows and bludgeons 

for killing each other and cutting roots of the tree.

We even make cross to crucify Messiah.

Oh, what did we do 

with the faith tree and religions? 

June-2005  

 

To Revive 

 

A flower can return us to paradise 

and connects us to an endless life.

A flower can create us anew 

and refresh our joyful missing memories.

And no differ whether it's a wild flower or a hot-house one

 

Only a flower??

Alas, what did we do??

We wrongdoer creatures destroyed and burnt 

One hundred and twenty four thousands

garden of real flowers

And consequently, we, loathsome nasty sinners 

were sentenced to wash our faces

in a cesspool of cruelty each morning

 and breathe the putrefied air of discrimination till evening,

 and go to bed with nightmares and devilish dreams.

 

 Such a filthy place is our reward 

 and the next hell is worse than this, if

 there weren't any flower to return us to lovesickness.

 

 Oh, my hidden flower 

You are the heir of all prophets 

 andall of the windows are waiting

for you and your reviving fragrance.

June /2005

As usual 

 

A harsh gray flood was coming toward us. 

How was it started? 

Who was guilty? 

Which royal boat would be capsized? 

Who would win that blood-wave-riding? 

We didn't know. 

There was no time for thinking, 

but as usual we only ought to be dammed against it. 

 

The harsh gray-red-flood 

was passing through our ever-ruined village,

and our ashes were dancing 

in the memories of war-brides. 

 

For centuries we have played the same act.

And now we, the forgotten victims, 

are waiting for the next War.  

Who can save our lives 

Except love and peace?

Utopia 

 

Peace is not a soup of DOVE cooked in OLIVE oil,

For serving at the geopolitical conferences. 

It's the chlorophyll of spiritual flights. 

Peace is not a symbol and a word 

It's a sharp shiny signal of bare right-seeking swords.

Peace is not a lowly surrender position 

But a powerful forgiveness exposition. 

Peace does not occur in an oppressor mind 

Nor in an oppressed heart. 

Peace is not an emotive remark 

It's the essence of all desirable beauties. 

Peace is not the antonym of war 

It's the synonym of all virtues, 

a combination of love and liberty 

plus justice and security, 

 

                                               17

and lack of each is the sign of war condition. 

The cold wars are more burning than the hot ones 

a hot war may pick only flowers 

but poverty and discrimination burn the garden entirely.

War is war and death is death 

cold or hot, makes no difference. 

Peace is not only reuniting enemies 

but strengthening affectionate relations among friends.

Peace is not a UN present for the victims of wars 

but a heavenly gift for all the creatures. 

Peace, as the Utopia of all perfect men, 

Is the main lesson of all holy prophets 

for us to have a blissful coexistence. 

Peace is a worriless mental situation 

in which everyone enters will be secure from all harms. 

 

I searched all of the encyclopedias; 

but didn't find a word which can play the role of peace

in the creation workshop, except a more perfect one.

If you find a better Utopia 

I will replace it with ISLAM.

Freedom 

 

A bird cannot change the cage 

not the cloudy imagination of its blue ceiling

not the dusty thoughts of its grayish floor 

and not the ironic temptations of its green bars.

When no way is to be released 

and outside, are other greater prisons 

and a free flight is not conceivable 

and every soul has its own cages, 

The poor innocent ever-caged bird 

only can do one little task: 

breaking all drowsy walls 

to change the world that happens in its mind

And uniting with the eternal cage. 

 

Life is a cage, 

and the bird can love and enj oy it,

So as the death. 

The bird cannot change a cage-

but can imprison it in its heart. 

Beautify 

 

To upgrade and dignify

Love burns us to purify

Poetry is your eye's art 

You, label it and signify 

We don't know what verse is

We only may intensify 

We are poets of you, dear

You have set us to versify 

If nice, is your own art

Each beautiful can beautify.

Signs 

 

The nightly sky 

is a blackboard

come and write on it

a brilliant word. 

 

I want to be solved

In ocean of shine 

I wish to be a

sparkling sign, 

 

What is your best wish 

in your heart and mind?

what was the lost hope

you wanted to find? 

 

Search and find it now

in your memories 

of virtues that 

give you glories.

 

Find a loving  word

higher than of peaks

the holiest gift 

that everyone seeks, 

 

A word that can build

Heaven in this land 

a simplest word 

to understand. 

 

We are living in

An endless world

the earth is a dot

in that blackboard. 

 

Find your place in

those dots and lines

you are one of those

sparkling signs. 

 Evergreen Arms 

 

He was as old as freedom,

and as red as martyrdom 

 

He was born in battle-field

first thing, he saw, was a shield 

 

under which, opened his eyes

and drank the milk of skies 

 

His date of birth was written

on the wings of a pigeon 

 

The only toy, he had, there

was a sword, sharp and bare 

 

He was as kind as flowers

and lovesick as all lovers 

 

On horseback, he learnt by heart

how to fend, to rush, to dart 

 

He was fond of liberty

Though his wealth was poverty 

 

If you wanted his address

you could ask every cypress 

 

He was as hard as mountains

And as elegant as fountains 

 

He planted in the grove-palm

his evergreen and tall arm 

 

Though, was martyred this morning

his son was born in evening 

 

He is as old as freedom,

and as red as martyrdom

Honey-moon 

 

     For flying in the love sky as a free dove

     it's too late if you even come very soon

     and for falling in deep well of love 

     each moment is a nicely honey-moon. 

     If you’re tired of life and its painful pack

     and be surrounded by the troops of grief,

     if you're about to have a heart attack

     only the love miracle can give you relief.

     Let the sorrow be upset and sad 

     Do not delay, make your loving base

     Laugh at the death and be, as I, mad 

     and be free of nation and race. 

     Do not delay, love yourself at first 

     if so, the whole existence is the next.

The millennium of phoenix 

 

Let them go and fly these narrow-minded bugs

and fight against our ancient fire-bird 

put them at ease, let them try their best 

though they deserve to be laughed at, you 

follow the athletic ethic of victor combatants. 

Let them go and fly these blind-hearted bats 

and try to put out the sun's everlasting light 

but remember not to laugh at enemy's corpse.

When a fly buzzes, even if disturbs you, 

let it buzz its lecture in darkness, and be sure 

that the wind will come and throw it away. 

But you, My eagle, the unique patrol of skies 

that the hurricanes cannot shake even your shade

and the typhoon is captured by your sharp claws

go on composing our epical presence. 

You are the most honorable image, I've ever seen

when you are sitting still at the highest peak

Only that stony horse can bear your epical weight

on which you sit and calmly rule over the lands

Give my best greetings to the goddess of poetry

and, on behalf of us, ask her if she knows 

who taught and trained her bravest son, Epic 

 

                                                27

and encouraged him to eradicate the war-beginners? 

And who took care of her prettiest daughter, sonnet 

and made up the most charming bride of literature? 

And who has elevated our three-colored flag of Love and Peace?

And also kindly ask her whether she knows 

that her dearest daughter and son, sonnet and epic 

were attacked by some bugs and bats and mice? 

But tell her not to worry at all, since they live 

in a lofty, firm and fortified palace 

which was built by Ferdowsi and painted by Hafez. 

And surely she knows her children's trainers.

Our ancient fire- bird, the phoenix, 

The Common spirit of our nation never dies 

And every day is its admirable Millennium. 

Today the old phoenix burnt itself, but 

a newly born bird came out from its ashes. 

The young phoenix is now inspiring all the birds, 

and helps them to compose their crimson flight poems.

Now, each free bird, you see in the sky 

lovely and pacifically is singing the epical sonnets 

of phoenix death and birth.

The Lost Futures 

 

Even those broken mirrors 

-my dust-coated ancient memories-

cannot restore my lost futures. 

 

In this abundance of blessing 

in which the free bare sweet life 

is available for everyone's desire 

nothing is exchangeable for me 

with a flame of lovesickness. 

 

The insurance fever is widespread 

and all of my world-mates! 

are supersonically rushing towards 

the banks and the safe boxes 

but nothing can save and insure 

my evergreen grieves. 

 

How much does my anxiety cost? 

for everyone but you, my dearest 

it's not worth even a black penny, I know. 

My future is lost 

and I'm missing 

and I'm patiently waiting for 

that Promised Friday Morning 

in which I will be found 

in your graceful arms. 

Come and Reserve All my grieve Rights 

And restore my lost futures.

Charisma 

 

Having a great pain of enmity 

I was exiled to a stony moment. 

My heart capacity was so low 

and the ceiling of sky was so down 

how insignificant were my desires 

and how little was my world. 

At the end of loneliness 

I picked up a stone, heatedly 

and threw it towards the rocks aimlessly.

and the adventure was beginning: 

The stone was singing plainly 

a heartrending lovely sonnet. 

And I was sinking in its eternal charisma

then its echo grew and grew 

and multiplied progressively. 

all of my cells could see and hear and repeat

the same melody  

which all the cells of existence were singing:

Find your place among us 

you are a part of cosmos 

we have the same beloved 

who is the creator, indeed 

no enemy or enmity 

is in our dignity 

your heart should only be filled

with love and love, in this field

love is an endless ocean 

you should follow shoreless men

if you want a godly kiss 

you must fight only for peace. 

 

2005-05-23 

The universal day of peace 

 

1 – The unknown quantities 

no one really knows what life is and how much it costs

except one who takes it back from the claws of death 

and no one really knows what death is and how much it costs

except one who embraces it for the sake of LOVE 

and no one really knows what love is and how much it costs

except one who uses it to enrich the peace. 

 

2 – The love realm 

The world happens at our minds 

not behind the geopolitical closed doors 

each government is a matter of wind 

and everyone can ignore them and all of their rules

but no one can escape from the God’s realm  

that its unchangeable laws are innately in our spirits . 

 

3 – The root of faith 

The world is a stock of tyranny, discrimination and injustice

which is the product of our thoughts 

and if we change our minds 

the world will be changed, accordingly 

and will be filled with justice, peace and love. 

trying and waiting for these bright and brilliant changes 

is the root of our faith . 

 

4 – The alone zeros 

We are smaller than zeros 

Not in the Cosmos but on the earth. 

Without love we are zeros, about 7 billion alone zeros 

but we can change the world if we want 

A zero has no math value lonely but if it comes after a ONE

it increases its value ten times and more 

and becomes a part of the new tenfold number 

 

5 – The miracle of love 

We come to world and die 

So we are nothings as zeros 

only love can increase our values 

We are such valuable nothings 

that can increase the value of a ONE 

to a limitless number. 

With love we are zeros after ONE 

Even, we can be ONE with the miracle of LOVE . 

 

6 – The real value of zeros 

One is a unit of a value but zero is not. 

Ten is not merely a number, 

ten is ten real ones and a plenty of decimals 

An alone zero has not any value, it’s nothing 

But after a ONE its value may be form one to ten 

So the value of a zero after a ONE is not the same as an alone

zero. 

And so on a hundred, a thousand, a million and a billion . 

So we remain 7 billion alone zeros if we don’t come after a ONE . 

 

                                     33

7 – The Godly one 

The God is the real ONE of existence 

And has saved an innocent ONE, his grand sample,

for the future of the world and Human beings, 

and all of us also should play the role of zeros

after that Godly ONE in our lives . 

If a zero fell in love with existence 

It will come after that Godly ONE. 

 

8 - The Essence of all Senses 

when Adam descended from the everlasting paradise 

he had everything but his life was meaningless 

Breathing, eating, working and sleeping 

was boring and tedious 

he wasn’t anxious and impatient,  

he wasn’t waiting for anyone, 

he wasn’t exited, and not interested in beauties 

and totally hadn’t any feeling about himself and his nature

and these concepts and words weren’t in his dictionary of life

The God sent him his own lovely peaceful spirit 

Then he remembered Eve 

and felt the essence of all senses 

and his dictionary became full of new sensual lovely entries

and his religion come into being 

and loved everything as children 

 

9 - The renovation of innate values 

Children are the best lovers of God 

They have a pure love for everything 

But when they grow up they forget love gradually. 

We should return to our childish homeland 

To regain the real taste of life, by love

Without love we are alone zeros 

But we are created to be ONE 

And if we renovate our innate values

We will become one of those ONES. 

 

10 – Return to paradise  

The Fall of Adam is always repeated 

The almighty God blew his spirit to our bodies and enlivened us

Also every morning he makes us alive. 

When we have everything in our lives except LOVE  

we are descending from the paradise every day 

and the Merciful God is sending us his gift of LOVE 

and melting our hells with the heavenly calmness 

to enrich and rescue our lives 

and return us to his everlasting paradise 

 

11 – The source of wars 

we are travelling from birth to death 

and the distance between is life 

which is innately filled with love by God 

but we empty it and fill it with disgust and enmity

and this is the source of all wars 

 

12 – The real fight 

I love peace and hate war 

And wish a warless day for our earth 

That all of us are eagerly waiting for,  

But war is an inevitable event 

Because the history of human began with war

And the root of all civilizations is in blood 

 

I hate war and love peace 

But the life of all weapon producers 

Is based and depended on wars. 

They hate peace and we hate them 

We should fight for peace and love 

And our real war should be against those death traders

Throughout cultural activities 

 

13 - The lovers of God 

when all of the people have a common love 

they are the lovers of God 

and this common love is their common religion 

and when they love God they aren’t the enemy of each other

instead, they love each other and all of his creatures 

in this case, there is not any enmity and war among people

And that day is the universal day of peace 

and that day is not far if we want 

if we add only one person to the Lovers of God and humanity . 

 

14 – The Superior of the Creatures 

Nothing but Love can measure and weight our lives . 

All of the death traders are also intelligent and clever

Without love, Wisdom is a lantern for thieves and lawbreakers. 

Wisdom must be directed by LOVE 

-the heavenly gift of God to us- 

By which we are signified as human beings, 

And also The Superior of the Creatures.

WINGED CAGES 

 

I miss you when I find myself 

And find you when I miss myself

I’m puzzled between me and you

And my old pain is always new 

I should migrate as a lone bird

That in winter has lost its herd 

How can I fly with broken wings 

To the land-love of sun and springs?

I should migrate to land of light

From my deep darkness of blight 

At last you see one day, I fly 

With my winged cage at your sky

From myself to you, I migrate 

And waiting for this lovely fate

Candles and Butterflies 

 

The existence is managed by God’s unseen forces

who are chosen from the best people 

and trained by celestial beings and angles. 

when a nice and perfect person 

- a sacred and unknown sloe- 

is affected with a hard trouble 

or a heavy and unbearable blight 

you should know that the Almighty God 

has burnt a candle among us 

by which we can connect to God’s source of blessing

and remove the darkness of hopelessness. 

a candle can do nothing except giving light 

and melting little by little. 

it’s a God favor 

they burn for us 

and we should only be their butterflies. 

What else can we do for them? 

This is not a superstitious poetic idea 

nor a philosophical lesson 

this is the habitual experience in our life

In the Name of Allah 

O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made

you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most

noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah

                         is Knowing and Acquainted.

DOCTRINE OF GLOBAL FAMILY 

 

1 

Making family is the holy aim of Creation 

And the main pillar of a family is a woman, 

So the world should gain a new insight of LOVE. 

2 

Let’s put the exceptions aside. 

 A man is a human male being 

but a woman is not a female mankind 

It’s an unknown creature from another world 

A canary and a sparrow both are birds and alike 

But a canary isn’t a pretty sweat-singing sparrow 

They may be similar but not equal 

If they obliged to live with each other, 

they may adapt and adjust themselves to their new conditions

and copulate and reproduce new male and female birds, like us.

Their infants aren’t hemi canary and hemi sparrow  

and both are valuable. 

The canaries are canary and sparrows are sparrow, 

Although men and women, both are caged in one world 

And a woman is more similar to a man than the other creatures

They shouldn’t be compared with each other 

Women are women and men are men and both are valuable. 

3 

A male isn’t stronger than a female 

and a female isn’t stranger than a male 

both are strong in their territories 

and are strange in the other zone 

king and poor are alike and this is one of the God’s justice signs.

And this misunderstanding has been the cause of all quarrels,

separations, divorces and exploitations. 

But really, what’s a woman? No one knows. 

She is a paradisiacal gift from God. 

And she is the most oppressed creature that has ever abused by men. 

She is not an amusing toy  

and not a luxury merchandise  

and not trade goods  

that may be bought and sold now and then. 

A woman is not a mate with an expiry date. 

4 

The first victims of all wars are women. 

Regardless the cause of wars and nations when a soldier is killed

in each front, a mother will be bereaved. 

So a woman cannot be a commander or judge, because she

cannot see the bereavement of other mothers. 

 

 

5

Women are such powerful beings that can change the world and 

make it as a real paradise. 

But men may create hell of wars and discrimination and poverty.

 A man may want everything for himself 

But a woman wants herself for her nest, 

and easily may sacrifice herself for her children to keep them 

alive. 

Mothers have motherly feelings toward all of the children of the 

world. 

All of the men are the children of mothers, And a husband may be 

the poor needy child of his wife. 

6 

When a war broke between two tribes  

only their women could extinguish its flames. 

Women in their responsibilities are men of peace 

But the men who always put the world into fire usually condemned 

them for beginning quarrels between neighbors and children. 

The divine hands that can spread peace in societies and take care of it 

are only and only mothers 

without the help and interference of international organizations 

without army forces and governments only by lullaby and folk songs. 

They can capture the global only with their motherly emotions and 

affections. 

And if they wait for receiving this dignity through official aids 

they never obtain it. 

The dialogue among civilizations  

and peace talks should be carried out only by women especially 

those who have lost their children and husbands in wars. 

and what may be mentioned in such dialogues is only peace and

peace and peace. 

And also their children by mother’s permission and guidance and 

control may do a part of it. 

But men who may kill millions of their Congener cannot do such

a fine art. 

These dialogues needn’t any specific knowledge because all of 

the mothers who are kings of sorrow have a common language of

tear and sough and their desire is only peace. 

7 

If women rule over the world and do not behave manly no war

will be started except against mice and beetles!! 

And no hungry will remain on earth except for fitness!! 

So these great super angles should not lose their dignity 

and must not minify and degrade themselves 

by mannish manners. 

8 

Women not only in their appearances but also in innate natures

are the prettiest transfigurations of God’s beauties accordingly 

they are always abused by Demons and evil doers. 

In a simple and small scale, life is nothing but housing (eating,

loving and resting) without which life is a decorative death. 

And all of those may only be prepared by mothers. 

Without their care the children and husbands are gadabouts. 

Life is meaningless without women, 

So each mother is the Sun of her solar family. 

And other members of family are stars of her love orbit 

and in a large scale this situation could also be applied to the

whole existence, 

Life is aimless without the role of mothers who are responsible

for performing the aims of The Creation. 

So a mother is a goddess in her family 

And has the highest rank of her existence 

So their authorities should be strengthened and stretched

through the whole life of their children some of which are kings

and presidents and war beginners of the world. 

9 

Men always have dominated over women by disregarding their

rank and right 

And women always live in the second or last level of importance.

They should play their heavenly roles in all societies 

But it must not be the beginning of an endless war between wives

and husbands 

If so, playing this role should be ignored at all. 

10 

The world regardless its geopolitical borders consist of many homes 

And each home is managed by a housewife who is the manager of her family, 

And the world which is a collection of families is managed by women, 

And women are the real kings of the world, 

And the world is the borderless home of mothers, 

Therefore they can prevent all the societies from any satanic

movements and preserve their own harvests from flames of wars.

The so called Global Village is a political trick of those men who

want to rule over the world in a simple way, 

But the global family is the existing Utopia of all mothers 

And we, men, always destroyed their utopia by wars to create our 

childish Global Village. 

11 

For thousands of years the world has been governed by men 

And their productions only have been wars and destruction of 

families and burnings all of the woman’s efforts. 

12 

Mothers can change the world with their innate "doctrine of 

global family" to make a peaceful life for all people 

And if they had done this task, our condition would be better than 

this, and now we could be proud of our histories. 

13 

A half of the world population is women and the other half is their 

children, this is also true for the men, but the roles of the first half 

are always minimized by the second half. 

14 

All of the human beings are equal and no one is better than the 

others except for being PIOUS. 

If a couple live lovely for centuries they will never recognize each 

other completely and by means of no language and logic they may 

reach to good mental understanding of their mates except by love 

And there is no fatal problem that cannot be solved peacefully in 

bed, 

And The God creates BED for solving all kinds of problems. 

15 

A wife and her husband are dress of each other[4] . symbolically, a 

dress is a protective ornament, so a couple should wear each 

other and "wearing" is a cultural idea that contains tens of untold 

heavenly words and concepts one of which is Uniting that is the 

main aim of Creation. 

16 

Feminism breaks the creation rules and God Limits, so it destroys the 

foundations of families and begins an endless quarrel between men 

and women, because it doesn’t know the value of mothers and their 

place in existence. 

17 

Women are not equal to men, they are higher than men. 

In dictatorship of men, women are only tools of pleasures, but 

according to the rule of creation both are means of calmness and 

delight[5]. 

 

Instinctively, all the existence moves toward unity 

and human beings are the superior creatures and their marriage is 

the highest pick of unity. 

18 

A man is not the Lord of the woman, he is her child. 

And a woman is not the housemaid of her husband, she is her 

mother. 

Both have equivalent share in their common life 

But the duties of men, as the workers of HIVE, are more than of the 

QUEENS[6] . 

19 

One of the Aims of creation is reproduction that is the essential

base of existence without which life will be disappeared in a few

decades. 

In this process women act the maj or role. They are the productive

member of existence, so they are the origin of life. 

The God can create mankind without parents: as the creation of

ADAM. 

And can create human beings without father: as the creation of

Jesus Christ (P.B.U.H). 

So Men are stranger gusts of Women Kingdom 

And mothers are the goddesses of existence and eternity

Because they are the God's cooperators for life continuity. 

20 

Women are so valuable that the last prophet (P.B.U.H) said: 

The paradise is under the mothers’ feet, 

And up to now no claim has been told 

greater than this holy phrase about women.

At the Beach of Eternity 

 

The whole Cosmos that can be seen 

Is smaller than an Amoeba 

In an endless Ocean; 

And the candle of spirit is glimmering in both.

And the distance between being and nonexistence

is a twinkle of soul. 

If you can see the spirit of an Amoeba 

You will observe thousands Cosmoses 

At its beach of Eternity, 

So, we are such little 

And such great.

Defense 

 

Each living creature loves peaceful life 

so innately fights against aggressors 

and defense makes the defenders stronger.

Usually the rich sources are attacked by invaders

And giving up is equal to death. 

this is our story at a glance 

during our glorious history 

we hate all of the war beginners 

and we love our unknown Patriots. 

FLAGS 

 

The sad world is looking for delight 

and fortune is as rare as the Gabriel feather[7]

And the garden of words is gloomy 

 

We belong to the family of 

words 

“mountain” is my father 

“sea” is my mother 

“trees” are my brothers 

And “stars” my sisters 

Those infinite exclamatory and question marks are my cousins 

And “you” are my friends 

 

The world is a complex dictionary 

Some of us are Nouns, Verbs, etc. 

Regular or irregular, 

And all of us are meaningful and important words 

And none of us can be erased form that lexicon 

If so, the being glossary would be incomplete 

 

We are words 

And live in the world of words 

A few of us are high frequent and some are less 

Some of us are summarized in a short single line 

And some should be interpreted by more than one world

Some of us are proverbs, idioms, slangs 

And even taboos 

 

We are words 

And stand for our thoughts 

We are flags of our thoughts kingdom 

And we are symbolic movable signs of our aspirations

All of us are searching for lucks 

And prosperity happens at minds 

And our good fortune is product of our thoughts 

And thoughts are spirit of words 

And words are spirit of world 

And the world is sad 

And the words are gloomy 

Each of us is a word 

Each of us is a world 

And the world is searching for shiny words 

Oh LOVE, come and shatter our untrue world  

And refresh our glossary words.

An Elegy for Flight 655 

 

My little brave canoe of love 

is carrying my furious volcano of revenge 

In a familiar stormy sea 

and an unknown dark night. 

The canoe is mourning and searching the Blood Vortex 

In an endless beginning tide 

and a crowded loneliness, 

and the volcano is going to awake 

The Damavand[8]  and Fuji Yuma’s[9] spirits at once together 

to elegize and eternalize the saddest narration of love and life's 

death 

in memories of Hiroshima and Nagazaki[10] 

and Iranian Flight[11] number 655  

 

* 

To find the depth of the massacre 

let's light our candles of hearts in the chest of history 

by Putting ourselves instead of those innocent peace messengers.

Let's imagine the bloody moments 

And rebuild and review the massacre: 

It was lunch time of Sunday July 3, 1988 

The waitresses were serving the packed foods 

And the mothers were feeding their dear ones 

and speaking to each other happily. 

The Iron bird was calmly flying at sky 

On the usual path of civilian flights, 

The space of j ourney was full of sweet fragrance of affections.

And everything was OK 

Suddenly, the whole thing was ended 

by missile of the damned Vincennes 

And 290 torn bodies were dancing 

From the sky to the sea 

And the Persian Gulf became their purplish grave. 

They had no time to understand what happened 

Even, the parents couldn't hug their children, 

Accordingly, "the Axis of Evils" said: 

"I'm not an apologize-for-America kind of guy." 

And foolishly regarded the massacre as closed, 

But every free thinker regards it as an open issue forever 

As the unforgettable memories of Hiroshima and nagazaki. 

Surely, we have power and right to avenge 

But we never pay back evil by evil 

We give peace flowers to US nation and all human beings, 

This is our heavenly revenge. 

The Bull’s Eye 

 

I’m a target 

a double-faced target 

My chest and back are painted with colored circles

The smallest one is the Golden point of dueling,

and one who can exactly shoot at my heart 

is the final winner. 

* 

And the Warmongers and Arms dealers are always winners.

And I've been the holy loser forever. 

* 

As a traditional and historical target 

I'm the center point of existence and humanity

I'm your mother 

Do not aim at me, dear.

VALENTINE’S DAY GIFT 

 

When you are sitting hopelessly 

in the flames of anxiety and loneliness, 

A pleasant gift 

is neither a red rose nor a love letter 

and not a heart-marked undergarment 

but a Piece of Peace News. 

 

When the floods of bloods 

are running, madly here and there 

When the people are used as 

Experimental Guinea Pigs 

By researchers of Satanic Powers 

When the horror of the Mushroom Clouds 

cast a vast shadow on the dreams of the world 

when the brain of Earth is inflamed with 

the horrible tumor of Atomic weapons 

and one of them may visit you 

or your anonymous friends 

before or after 24 October[12] (1945-10-24) 

 

no present is more desirable and ideal 

than a piece of peace news. 

Satan’s bed fellows 

 

Angels are still crying 

for the innocent victims of terrorism 

who were burnt and buried 

in such a huge vertical grave. 

Who is responsible for this massacre 

that injured the hearts of sky and earth?

Mafia and Terrorism 

are two wings of devilish politicians 

that no one is safe from the tricks of 

these hated little Demons. 

Angels are crying still 

not only for the innocent victims of 

11th September of 2001 

but also for the previous and the next victims

of those Satan’s bed fellows. 

 

Canonical LOVE 

 

Love is not the unbridled lustful nasty pleasures.

It's a holy lasting fondness  

Between Creatures and the Creator 

And has different meanings and levels:

Fondness between Believers and prophets

Parents and their children, 

Families and relatives 

mankind and all creatures 

and specially 

between canonical Married couples. 

Renascent firefly 

 

I'm not a poet 

I’m the shouter of our global pains 

And looking for treatment. 

I'm shouting all the human pains, 

Poverty, discrimination, injustice. 

And all the pains are tolerable and curable 

Except the pain of deadly wars. 

I love peace and hate war 

And should shout to be involved in healing the world. 

As an afflicted soul, I cannot be calm 

and decorate my face with untruthful smiles. 

I'm not a poet 

And my wounded words are not poems. 

This bunch of words 

is the ashes of my burnt garden of pains, sobs, shouts, and tears.

My share of this world is only shouting, 

And the victims of the frequent wars 

are the bloody words of my shouts 

and a various collection of dead bodies  

are still marching in my volcano mind. 

I live with the grieves and pains of hopeless people 

and what I've learned from them is shouting. 

I'm not a poet and not want to be known so; 

 

But as the broken mirror of disasters and lost wishes 

I’m the silent and injured shouting of human misfortunes

and as much as I can I should shout 

to show the real face of the world to the world 

and looking for friends to spread love and peace. 

 

I'm not a leader nor a politician 

I am the old wound of humanity, 

and the injured emotions of all mothers  

who are still mourning for their killed dear ones. 

 

War is ugly but defense is Holy and Beautiful 

and a cultural defense is the best. 

I am a survivor of imposed wars 

I hate War but if the enemies impose us another war

I’ll fight against them with all my heart, as the past

to be sacrificed for my nation and mother-land. 

I’m not a poet but a broken mirror of wars 

And shout my pains in dumbness language 

And waiting for a remedy 

And know, I, myself is the remedy 

I should change and enlighten this dark world 

As much as a renascent firefly can. 

The root of peace 

 

The root of life tree is love 

Its trunk is peace 

Welfare, security and calmness are its leaves and fruits. 

A tree without trunk hasn't any leaf and fruit or shade

The enemies of humanity usually cut and fell the trunk 

 But the root may remain alive 

and should be watered to grow up again 

So, the root of peace, security and welfare is LOVE

Which should be planted in the heart of the world. 

 

Insecurity is due to lack of Peace 

And lack of peace is due to lack of love 

If people love each other and try to spread peace, 

they will gain security and calmness. 

 

Think, you have everything 

Health, wealth, fame, family, and good friends

But if you haven't security, you have nothing. 

 

Our world has everything except peace and security 

And has nothing. 

God gives people everything 

But security should be created by them 

By planting love in societies and harvesting peace 

Which is the trunk of security and welfare. 

Security, calmness and certainty  

are indications of paradise in our life 

and this world is the farm of the next world 

and one who has been in HELL at this world 

will also be in fire after death. 

you may have not faith in Judgment Day 

but you have faith in love, peace, security and welfare 

everyone needs these heavenly gifts in this world 

So, in this field they are our well-wisher friends. 

Global peace might be regarded as the most impossible desire

But this is our simplest and attainable hope. 

nothing on the earth is more beautiful than peace 

and this is our heavenly wealth 

which we like to give to the world 

if they want to taste the rapture of peace beauties. 

all human beings love peace 

so all of us are of the same mind and idea 

but liking peace is not enough 

we should try and pray for establishing peace 

and improve and protect it. 

and everybody who does so 

is our coreligionist. 

Missing Link 

 

We were each other in our childhood  

and nothing could separate us 

Even borders, walls and barbed wires 

But the warlords stole our sincere love 

And sold their warfare products to us 

And we began to kill each other. 

now, nothing can join us 

except that stolen and missing love 

which is the God-sent-key for paradise of union, 

and the missing link of fortune. 

Let's make our holy sincere nests 

In our twisted arms and united chests. 

we are alike 

We are really the same 

We are each other 

Even behind borders, walls and barbed wires 

But still according to death traders: 

we are (enemies of) each other. 

let's return to our childhood love-land 

and change our minds to change the world’s fate  

and enjoy ourselves in such a heavenly state. 

let's let love start us anew 

and reborn us at the mind of our childhood shiny orchards. 

 

Peace thunders 

 

We were chained lions and caged eagles 

Under the persecution of tyrants. 

We battled bravely for freedom and peace 

Some of us were injured, arrested or killed 

And some never returned to their homes. 

But finally we defeated two brutal and blood thirsty dictators 

And obtained our bloody victory, 

not cheap and easy but as valued as our lives. 

Peace is a natural reward of our resistance 

That The Almighty God gave us. 

 

Because of resistance and peace 

Now we are at the peak of our power, 

And protect our costly peace to the last drop of our blood 

But we like to share our expensive peace 

with other nations, not by force, but with love. 

The enemies of humanity have imposed us wars 

but we have imposed peace to them 

They try to convince the people 

 

that there isn't any enemy and enmity in this world

but people know that enemy and enmity  

is the realest fact in our world. 

 

peace is a two-sided flag 

love and hate 

loving peace and its friends 

and hating its enemies. 

The tyrants want to decrease the right-seeking-movements

but we want to increase Peace thunders 

Because we enrich the divine love 

and produce peace 

and export it to the peace-seeker-heart of the world. 

Avant-garde Scarecrows 

 

Days, years and centuries 

Are passing without any change 

in the mind of Scarecrows 

who cannot think of changing their world. 

 

From when we opened our eyes just saw bloodshed

and became accustomed to death plays 

If we don't hear the news of crimes, one day 

We think something horrible happened to our Earth.

We are drowning in the stinking ocean of politics

until death comes 

and take us to the land of forgetfulness. 

Who can change the world? 

In this horrible and insecure situation 

by means of these simplest words and structures? 

Even though we cannot change anything in the world 

At least we can change our thoughts 

And if all of us change ourselves 

The world will be changed consequently. 

All of the miseries of the world is due to lack of love 

And if the people love each other their miseries will end soon,

That's the miracle of LOVE. 

 

Our enemies declare that the world cannot be changed 

And no one can save the world 

And changing it, is sin 

They implanted this destructive idea in the hemispheres minds To 

change people into some Avant-garde Scarecrows and vertical

graves 

with no thinking about prosperity, 

And with no responsibility for the global pains, 

But lastly we will change the world 

Because we are The Superior of the Creatures 

Not Scarecrows. 

Bloodless Victory 

 

I'll conquer the world  

Without expense, troops and weapons 

My army is so strong that will smash all the world's military

forces if they do hostility. 

 

My armies will eliminate discrimination and injustice. 

All of the armies of the world 

Except aggressors, are under my celestial flag. 

My holy and peace keeper armies are emancipators and

Protectors of peace 

and the hearts of people around the world are in my camp. 

All human beings like beauty 

And the most beautiful thing in the world is peace

-the greatest gift of the God to humanity- 

And my armies give the same gift to people, 

So all of my armies are cooperators of the Creator

And people love them as they love The Almighty God. 

 

The thirsty world is waiting 

And counting the moments to hug me 

I AM LOVE  

The masterpiece of Creations 

The Spirit of the Universe 

The heritage of all the apostles 

The main Reason for constructing the creation 

The guarantor of prosperity and human happiness 

And provider of security and lasting peace. 

I will make borderless world, without continents 

Black and white, rich and poor are alike 

And the First and Third Worlds do not exist in my heavenly

Utopia  

I'll make all people the lovers of God 

In my authority all the creatures, particularly human beings

will experience the real taste of life 

I hate war beginners and aggressors 

And they hate me 

I'm love 

And will soon celebrate my bloodless Victory 

Upon the graves of my martyred lovers. 

Satanic Scenarios 

 

It still rains hailstone in the orchard of moments 

And we are wandering among daydreaming nightmares 

Whose mouths are full of decayed crocodiles. 

In this dark vortex of bewilderment 

We grasp the stalks to rescue our remaining lives. 

That is what we have done, through centuries 

From sunrise to sunset, from dusk to dawn. 

It still rains hails 

On our emotion gardens 

And the innocent blossoms are under volley of bullets, 

while in the cozy backyard of UN 

The warlords are dividing the world between themselves,

This is not the first attack nor the last one to our villages and

cottages, 

And the scenario is continuing… 

Universal Peace Camp 

 

The appointed date was coming 

and I had prepared everything beforehand. 

 

The space was full of the sweet fragrance of relief 

And the waiting ages were over. 

The lovely signs of my beloved presence 

Were melting the hearts of heavenly lovers, 

And my lily emotion flowers were playing with stars 

And I smelled the aroma of their thoughts, 

And touch their enviable heartbeats. 

* 

The holy mosque of Jamkaran 

was the Campsite of the weekly meeting of global peace lovers as 

the representatives of all cities and nations  

who talked to each other in their common mother tongues: The 

forgotten dialect of tears and smiles. 

 

Anyway, my fantastic bliss was face to face me;  

But I didn't know how to behave and what to say. 

What affecting word should I put in advance? 

Which one of my complaint stories should be narrated? 

How could I express my desires and requests? 

What would I..? Which could I..? How did I..? 

I was surrounded by wordless hopes and wishes. 

So I closed my eyes to concentrate on my new fate. 

meanwhile i heard the lovers’ whispers and prays: 

….O’ God help the heir of the Apostles 

    remove miseries from the world 

    write the best fortunes for human beings 

    We are waiting for your promised Savior 

    To set up justice and peace tent in the world 

    Help him complete all right deeds  

    And remove wrong manners 

    O’ God make his mission fast 

    And make people happy 

    And by him give security and calmness to all nations 

     O’ God give us a blissful life by him 

    And Show us that enlighten dear one 

    who will perform your rules in the world…. 

Doubtlessly he was among his lovers,  

And the population spirit 

was reflecting his same prays and universal wishes 

but I was selfishly involved with my personal desires. 

The borders of reality and superstations had been mixed 

And in this disordered ocean of illusion 

I was full of emptiness  

I was petrified and my stony brain was barren of decision. 

I looked like an icy statue in a frozen territory 

Meanwhile I felt a sincere warm healing stroke of sympathy 

in my iceberg's heart and 

trembled my heart 

And melt my soul  

And my tears flowed 

And a lantern lit in me 

I didn't know who hanged it to my ice-covered feeling tree? 

Who implanted it in my drought parting centuries? 

I had been sentenced to life  

And in this manner I was lanterned(!) to love. 

Oh fate, what did you do to my faith? 

Selfishness was my mistake in the previous dates 

The lantern was reviewing and correcting my errors 

Specially from Tuesday evenings to Wednesday mornings 

which was our new date. 

How this new meeting time was appointed? 

Perhaps none of the lovers knew 

But their presence at this appointment 

Was a sign of a general meeting and common wishes 

Who knows? But the lantern of my heart  

became brighter and more sensitive 

At these mysterious nights. 

Wasn't this night the sixth day of creation? 

I wouldn't understand these scarlet concepts 

But I learned a fact from the lantern's existence: 

A real lover should be as a lantern, 

silent, bright, and without any request. 

A lover should have many words to hear 

but no word to say. 

All of the lovely words of a lantern can be 

only a wordless greeting and nothing else. 

* 

My lantern is now waiting for my new Date and Fate  

And by its enlightenment I know that 

The Savior is like the sun behind clouds 

And I should search his presence in his absence 

Since, he is apparent in the rain of tears, thunder of weeping, 

breeze of smiles and fountain of prays and worships, 

he is visible when and where The God is present, 

And if I want to be one of his truthful followers 

I should fall in love with existence, 

As all of his lovers. 

 Invitation 

 

You are not a foreigner tourist; you are our familiar relative. 

You are not a stranger guest; you are our coexistent friend. 

You are not an unknown traveler;  

we are fellow travelers and fellow believers. 

We are travelers of the same road to truth and eternity. 

You are not an outsider passer-by; 

you are our compatriot in the borderless land of peace and love. 

We have been ancient companion of the same history and 

civilization. 

We are cognate words of the same divinely book. 

We live in the same earth, nature, world and UNIVERSE. 

I love the universe and all of its particles and its CREATOR. 

Our evergreen Heart is full of your Creator’s love. 

We are universally coexist relatives and everlasting friends. 

You are not a foreigner, nor a stranger or an unknown traveler; 

I invite you to our Seven Cities of Love, 

and receive you with our ancient and universal peace and 

fondness. 

we're waiting for you 

you're welcome… 

 

Money- worshippers 

 

Money, not only has occupied the place of humanity

But also the place of God in this world. 

Not only governments,  

But most of the people are also money- worshippers

And all of their social relations are based on money

In Addition to making wars, some governments

Also create terrorists and gangsters. 

* 

The weapon maker factories  

are scenario-writers and stage directors of all killing scenes.

Death traders bring all criminals into being 

to spread insecurity, disorder and violence in societies 

only in a such space of horror and terror  

the weapon mafia can continue its demonic and dirty life

and we should change the space to love and peace 

to boycott the mafia trades. 

Seeds and Fruits 

 

Love is the seed of family 

Family is seed of society 

Society is seed of the world 

And the human beings are the fruits of these seeds. 

 

Mankind is a heavenly social being 

and needs laws, leaders and governments

most of which are chosen by people  

And they should act as the servants of people

But the state is upside-down 

After climbing up the ladder of votes 

they become masters of people. 

All people like to have power 

Some of them see the power in weapons 

some in wisdom and some in both 

As a matter of fact each person and nation 

Should be powerful to fight against aggressors 

But the real power is wisdom 

By which one distinguishes his enemies and friends 

To prevent wars and protect peace. 

All of the nations and religions are brothers 

and do not like to kill each other 

But the weapon-makers whose theory is 

“Divide and rule” 

Always put the flames of disunion and division

Between the nations and rule over them. 

They are always behind all these propaganda tricks 

And play a two-way role and rule: 

creating hot and cold wars 

Cold War in the mass media 

by destructing "family" and killing "real love" in societies

and the hot one by creating wars and clashes. 

After launching the civil and foreign wars. 

They sell their weapons to both sides 

and fulfill their wishes and goals. 

they kill the seeds of existence for their benefits. 

And people are always victims and slaves of The Media Empires . 

Vote or veto?! 

 

   Let's vote 

   God has given us the right to choose our own destiny 

  And it's our right to vote or veto. 

  War or Peace? 

   I vote on war against the enemies of peace 

  And veto peace against the friends of war. 

  And all universal free thinkers are our co-voters 

  With help of whom we will rebuild the United Nations laws

  And revive our human rights.

Arbaeen[13] Referendum 

 

Clouds of flags on their shoulders 

The volcanoes are walking steadily 

And Euphrates flowing in their eyes. 

The sky is full of mourns 

And from time to time breaks into bursts. 

With no expectation of reward or income 

Through hills, deserts, villages and cities 

20 million lovers, men and women, old and young   pilgrims 

even barefoot, in cold and rainy roads 

are heading to love center of existence 

To attend the yearly ceremony of Master of Martyrs. 

 

They are completely armless and fearless 

And willingly passing through this sacred path 

Despite of having been threatened with bomb attackers 

And every moment a bomb may explode in their crowds.   

These self-created streams of pure feelings 

don't fit in the mind of the world 

and not be accorded with any formula and criteria. 

They are travelling to Karbala 

only for the sake of Love and Peace. 

 

This worldwide attendance and presence is 

The largest gathering of peace lovers in the world ever recorded 

The greatest meeting on anti-war, anti-terrorism and anti-violence 

The most popular meeting of human lovers and peace helpers 

They are the messenger of peace to all people and organizations 

But the blind imperialistic mass media   

censures these incredible global peace-seeking springs. 

this heavenly presence is an international referendum 

to vote to Love, peace, security and global unity 

They vote against the war and war-makers and terrorists. 

This epic presence vetoes the vote of the Media Empire 

and bypass the Global Domination System. 

 

This yearly lovingly and peaceful global gathering is held  

To remind the Martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) 

Our killed dear Imam, the blood of The God 

And the spirit of our divine love and peace. 

They are real waiters of The Savior of humanity 

and trying to provide the base for peace and justice on Earth 

Without the help of governments and international organizations. 

 

This peaceful flood becomes greater and stronger every year 

And many hearts fly with them to Love-land of peace. 

not just in these forty days 

But during all our lives we live with his love.

Some may ask: 

Why mourning after 1,400 years? 

The response is shiny: 

-Because history is always repeating 

This is our epical presence 

With no war and bloodshed 

Without destruction and violence 

Without investment of global organizations. 

Doubtlessly, all free thinkers of the world  

may interpret and analyze this extraordinary event correctly:

Love is the final winner of all conflicts 

And Peace is the fulfilled Promised wish of humanity 

And the sun of truth and virtues is rising… 

 

And we're waiting to see The Sun of Truth . 

Heroes never die 

 

House is on Fire 

And the flames go to sky 

The sound of crying and moaning  

can be heard from inside 

People stand around 

And no one can enter in 

A mother and her two children are surrounded by fire

And the people around are praying for them 

And no one can help them, meanwhile 

The Fire Fighters arrive 

Two heroes go into the fire waves 

Mother and two children are saved with difficulty 

But at the last moment the house is ruined 

And one of the fire fighters remains under ruins

Other heroes go to help him 

But the hero has martyred. 

War is like this event 

The enemy burned our homeland 

And people were surrounded by fire 

The soldiers went to help them 

And saved people and the country 

But some soldiers were killed 

And burned in the flames of war 

And even their ashes never returned to their families.

They are always alive 

And never be forgotten 

They are heroes of our motherland 

And our heroes never die. 

The martyrs are alive forever 

they belong to all people 

And all people love them. 

The new generation of kids 

 

The kids are future-makers, 

They are garden of virtues 

and the polished mirrors of God's beauties 

but when they grow old forget their responsibilities

they leave their holy wishes in their previous paradise

and come to adult zone with no plan of future making

and deliver their childhood missions to their children. 

 

In adulthood they may be the enemies of each other 

and kill their friends and brothers 

even, they may become the enemies of existence  

or will be changed into, slaves, gladiators, terrorists and gangsters 

so, the task of future making will be postponed to next futures

and subsequently wars are continuing 

and the world is always in fire 

and fire is always in the world. 

 

Parents don't want their children be killed

But they unwisely buy them toy guns

And indirectly teach them violence 

And prepare them for future wars 

To kill and be killed. 

 

But I know a new generation of kids 

who forbid the use of war toys 

and by help of their parents and teachers 

have peace group in their classes 

and organize peace associations in their villages and cities

and weekly send peace improving letters 

to global and national leaders 

And have decided to run their peaceful dreams in adulthood. 

 

Children should be powerful 

and distinguish their friends and enemies.

They should be armed with wisdom 

And by means of their heavenly powers

Cultivate their motherlands 

With the peace flowers. 

 

Discovering 

 

The very tiny galaxy of our union beings 

whose lovely song is heard from all the things

only by love may be explored and discovered, a bit

a twinkling bit 

as little as the whole universe, not more! 

Tent 

 

I've set up a small sky colored tent on the Earth 

As large as all lovers hearts 

There is enough space in my tent for all 

And no one occupies the place of others 

My tent is a base for World peace protectors 

to unite all other lovers of the world 

for promoting and spreading love and peace 

Against all enemies of humanity. 

 

I've raised the tent of my heavenly hopes 

On the disappointed heart of the world And  

hung in it my small lantern of love To 

praise The Creator of all creatures. and to 

help all peace-loving nations. 

 

I set up my peace tent 

And hung my lantern of heart at its ceiling  

And now I know that 

The lovers will come into it 

And hang their heart near my lantern 

it will be a worldwide tent with billions of love lanterns. 

 

My tent is the same heart that burnt in Ashoora And 

my heart is the same tent that burnt in karbala. 

The pearl 

 

When demons demonstrate their notions strongly 

Why don’t we introduce our faith simply? 

They changed the real function of 

Religions, arts and literature 

They want religions fight against each other, 

And arts be involved with sensual pleasures, 

And literature sings lullabies for napping people 

Thus, the freedom has been exiled to desert of loneliness

And the humanity has fallen into oblivion; 

In such an inversion mode 

there is no time to be romantic or pedantic. 

Let's introduce our faith clearly : 

Loving God and his creatures is its essence, 

The global unity is its spirit, 

the universal peace is its root, 

praying and trying to form a worldwide security is its aim,

and the best future for Human and Earth is its heavenly gift;

our belief is a heavenly pearl 

But when a pearl is handled and overused carelessly 

It may become dirty and broken, 

And our idea is the same pearl. 

Islam is peace and love 

But may be abused by some wrongdoers 

as all religions. 

New Slaves 

 

The slaves are subjects of ownership 

And as the animals, they can be sold, bought or Slaughtered

Or may be given to friends as gifts 

They only must live for the sake of their owners’ benefits. 

And ought to be happy and take pleasure from their dark lives.

As their Lords want, they should wear, eat, drink and copulate

to produce new slaves. 

 

Manufacturing Weapons of Mass Destruction 

is the greatest international trade 

and according to the new global discipline  

people are the slaves of these death-traders.  

who sell, buy or slaughter people as animals; 

And we contrary to their requests 

Should return to our aims of creation 

And live in peace and love 

To shut down their flourishing bloody international markets

And even to forbid the use of all their non-military goods

Especially war toys. 

 

Orchard of prophets 

 

1 

As the honey bees 

every second thousands of God's angles visit my temple of heart

to drink the nectar of peace 

and make the honey of unity 

2 

Existence is the God's land 

And God has sent many prophets to his lands 

Each of us is also one of the God's cultivated lands 

and the God has planted a prophet at our heart 

so none of God's lands is without prophet 

And our inner messenger is acquainted with those outer prophets

And both have the same aim, mission and interests. 

3 

When we are not in Godly mode 

a prophet is caged inside our cell of Souls 

Or is chained in our prison of freedom 

As if, a paradise of unity would be exiled into our hell of

selfishness 

But when we feel affection for the unity in humanity   

Our inner prophet is inspirited by god 

And the paradise wakes, breathes and captures our hell. 

 

When we feel anxious about peace 

Or Feel the beauties of the global united smiles 

Or feel disgusted about people's miseries 

Our inner prophet is inspired

and re-appointed by God 

And our souls will be dominated by God's angels 

So, at these timeless moments 

we are the messengers of God 

and we should try to change the world prophetically.  

When we Godly think about the prosperity and fortune of others 

our Land of life will become Coaxial with existence 

and The Almighty God and all of his angels 

are our specific Helpers and Directors. 

4 

In the mood of loving peace and hating war 

Each of our hearts is one of the sunflowers of Eden               

And the magnificent blossomed flowers of eternal paradise 

grow tall in our timeless moments. 

regardless of Nation, race and even religion   

we can be the earthly manifestation of God  

as the TREE of TuR[14] 

 

because we are not less than a tree but more than that. 

 

 

                                          90

When we feel the God's everlasting art 

We are his prophet, at least in our land of life

And should change our world. 

In the most fertile lands of The Lord

Everything is ready. 

And we are created to change the world 

And our tomorrow should be better than today

And no one can help us except ourselves. 

5 

"When there is a will, there is a way" 

So, pass through yourself  

And defeat yourself  

And win yourself 

And Love all nations and religions  

But If your home attacked by aggressors

Defend bravely Until the last drop of blood. 

 

                                                        91

Rescue 

 

The history of literature

has a friendliness feature.

The literature of history

Is an artificial creature 

 

The history of literature 

has been written by all lovers

the literature of history 

has been the dictate of rulers. 

 

The history of literature 

is so grace and sincere 

it is full of the nice words

such as "honey" and "my dear". 

 

The literature of history 

is filled with curse and terror

which was written dreadfully

by order of each Emperor. 

 

The coming day is based on

the history of literature

The literature may rescue

the history as a teacher. 

Mirror 

Here and there, wandering 

I’m looking for something 

A tree? A bird? I don ’t know. 

A polished mirror of love being. 

Heal  

Oh, darling let me confess 

My ailment is lovesickness

Nothing can heal me, except

Your lovely charm and shyness 

Spies 

Your life-giving two black eyes

That chasing me as spies 

are my missing keys of life 

by which I fly to skies 

Devotee  

Let them be cordial with me 

Let me sink in them freely 

No need to kill me, darling 

I have been “your eyes” devotee. 

 

Alive death 

The world is always inspired by God

And each of us is a unique alive death

Thus, he is the world 

But the world isn’t he. 

Couplets ( as Farsi Dobeyti )

 

Dobeyti is one the oldest form of Persian poetry which is flowing as

blood in the veins of Iranians. It's used by all classic and pop singers in

various musical divisions, and also in all social and religious

ceremonies. This simple and sincere form of Iranian poetry involves

the tragic and joyful memories of lovers and beloveds, wisdom,

philosophy and mysticism. Usually the fourth line of Dobeyti (which is

the last line) is more attractive than the three previous ones. Baba

Taher Oryan is the most distinguished Iranian poets in this field.  

The following verses are my experiences in composing dobeyti in

English and I know because of many differences in both Farsi and

English, these are neither as well as Farsi dobeyties nor the English

verses, especially regarding the English pronunciation which confines

the rhythm. 

These English dobeyties have been more interesting and amusing for

students of English and those who live abroad. Dobeyti should be read

as its Farsi equivalent, ignoring the rules of English pronunciation and

metric regulations. 

There are two oldest popular forms in Farsi literature which consist of

only four lines. They are more similar but have some differences in

rhythm and meter. The first one is dobeyti (the works of Baba Taher)

and the second one is Robaaee (the works of Khayam). 

Each dobeyti and robaae consists of four identical lines. In other

words, they have two lines, each one has two other half lines. They are

not similar to English couplet. Because a couplet consists of two lines

and the total lines may be more than four. But a dobeyti or a robaae is

not more nor less than four lines, and a complete meaning about an

event or emotional experiences should be put in these four lines. Each

line in Dobeyti consists of 11 short and long syllables but Robaaee has

more syllables and is a little complicated. 

ART 

havoc is your eternal architecture 

chaos , of your discipline , is a picture

a bit of your heavenly art , O  LOV E

the death and  life name  is love,  nothing else

the being is a  lovingly film , by God

essence of each frame is love, nothing else

Lovers always have been distressful 

all  of  the hard-hearted are blissful

in spite of  sorrow and afflictions

love is so surprising and peaceful

Fragrance of affection fill the garden 

News of your arrival heal the garden

Dear, if you delay, as past, at last 

The pain of loneliness will kill the garden. 

Pilgrim 

The night is an image of your black eyes 

One of your signs of face is the sunrise

The world is pilgrim of love’s shrine

Lover of my beloved, so, never dies. 

rainfall 

Autumn had rushed into my green heart 

Sorrow, painted gray, my garden of art

The rainfall of tears, God may bless it,

assisted my blossom how to start.

Flames of your lovingly eyes will burn 

all of the interested hearts, in turn.

Seven billions sunken suns at last

Suddenly, be switched on by a lantern.

[1] - There isn't such a goddess in mythology; I used it to refer to a global need.

[2] - zen is a kind of meditation in Buddhism, but here is only a symbolic term for all 

kinds of intuition

 

[3] - A famous quotation from Islamic mysticism. 

[4] -[Quran -Al-Baqarah- 187]  …They are clothing for you and you are clothing for 

them… 

[5]- [Quran -Ar-rum- 21] And of His signs is that He created for you from 

yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between 

you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

[Sahih International translation]

[6] - [Quran -An-nisa34] Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has 

given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their 

wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the  husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard…  [Sahih International translation] 

[7] -Gabriel is the most powerful angle of The God, and Gabriel 

feather is an idiom in Persian that points to shortage, insufficiency, scarceness and unavailability

 

[9] -The highest mountain peak and volcano in Japan. 

[10]  -The nuclear attacks on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 

August 1945during the final stage of World War II, by USA, which killed at least 

129,000 people.

 

[11] - Iran Air Flight 655 from Tehran to Dubai was shot down by USS Vincennes 

On 3 July 1988 which led to the loss of life of 290 innocent people from six 

nations including 66 children. There were 38 non-Iranians aboard. Certainly, the 

downing of flight 655 has been the deadliest tragedy in aviation history, but 

comparing to Hiroshima and nagazaki nuclear bombardment; it is the smallest 

crime of USA cruel rulers against humanity and existence.

[12] - Birthday of UN. 

[13]  - The Arbaeen Pilgrimage is the largest religious gathering that is held every year 

at the end of the 40-day mourning period following Ashura, the religious ritual for 

the commemoration of the Prophet Mohammad's grandson Hossein ibn Ali's 

Martyrdom in 680C.E. 

Arba'een marks a "pivotal event in history" in which the pilgrims make their journey 

to Karbala on foot, where Husayn ibn Ali, the third Imam of Shia, and his army were 

killed and beheaded by the army of   Yazid. 

Some of the pilgrims make their journey from cities as far as   Basra, about 500 km 

away by road. (source: Wikipedia)

 

[14]  - Now when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his family, he 

perceived a fire in the direction of Mount Tur. He said to his family: "Tarry ye; I 

perceive a fire; I hope to bring you from there some information, or a burning 

firebrand, that ye may warm yourselves." 

But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard from the right bank of the 

valley, from a tree in hallowed ground: "O Moses! Verily I am Allah, the Lord of 

the Worlds....
