Time of the Fallen
Destined to sorrow, With no hope in tomorrow, Luckless by birth, Bluer than earth, The ever afflicted boy, Destiny’s favorite toy, Deeply hurt, Treated as dirt, From misery to fear, He shed no tear. The world is a nasty place, Inhabited by a stupid race. A truth he discovered too late, After the sealing of […]
How I dream
To the Younger Generations, May you accomplish what we have failed to do. How I dream old friend, Of a world that can mend, Broken pure hearts, Reconnecting scattered parts. A world that knows no destruction, But only knows construction. Love seeds sowed all around, Hatred, no longer found. We’re no longer bound, To sorrows […]

Lost Hope
Crushed Heart By: Ehab Shawky Like a shredded web, Life continues to ebb. Tears falling in the dark, In hearts dull and stark. With pains so stern, With no one to miss or yearn.

Slaves’ Screams

Mountain Climber
Elegy for the lost Countries of the Middle East By: Ehab Shawky O Mountain climber Bring me with you a new tomorrow Free from stress, free from sorrow Different from yesterday Colored and shiny, no longer gloomy… no longer grey Fit to hold my dream Able to make the future gleam Sun runs in its […]
The Luminous Heart
A call for hope, Written by: Ehab Shawky Inspired by Ameer Az-Zalam (Egypt 2002) Light resides within hearts; Let it hug hope rays before its sun sets You either remain steadfast, or you shall live alone trapped in life’s nets Despair is weakness and a cowardly fear; hope opens locked doors, and dreams cheer You […]
