To Whom Should I Be? - Poem by Mwalimu LAKHPIN

I solitarily exult day after dayWishing to stay alone with myselfWatching over my own stancesLearning and practicing by myselfAway from all people’s sight.

I would be ruined in every aspectNone ignoring me but fleeingChances setting...

Train of Ours - Poem by Mwalimu LAKHPIN

Gosh! This train so superbSo still and lot of dreamsMany of which we all absorbThe state full of huge worriesA state to get in unwillingly. To one corner a man wondersThe other cage women cryUnaltered yells of all creaturesGetting tears that never dryBroken hearts dying slowly. Love is never got backFaith kills than it healsTrust hidden with no luckRude scenes and wrong willsFidelity is a sin, reality...
