Poetry from Elmaya Jabbarova

Elmaya Jabbarova
Welcome New World! 

The most innocent emotions belong to humans, 
But why did Adam's children change? 
They gather and fill their treasures, 
Their greed and stubbornness never fade! 
The desire to be more prosperous, greater,
Their lofty ideals are empty illusions! 
They shed no tears for the limits of competition, 
A diffusion towards the end of mankind! 
Every side, every corner is filled with sin, 
Deadly diseases, epidemics prevail, 
Disgrace does not bring honor, 
Let drug addiction be eradicated!

 Let peace and justice be our future's name, 
Let us maintain balance on the scales, 
Where do millions and billions go, 
Let us account for and scrutinize each expenditure! 
Awaken, put an end to this ignorance, 
Perhaps the bud will wither before it blooms, 
Greedy ones, put an end to this insatiable hunger,
 Everything will be inherited by this world! 
Place yourselves in the shoes of the poor, 
See how it feels to be without support, 
Learn the pain of impossibility, 
To be denied everything you witness! 

The genes of food and fruits are manipulated, 
Animals are injected with harmful substances, 
Infants are born sick, abnormal, 
They suffer the horrors of life! 
Nature lovingly caresses us, 
As a sole consolation to humanity, 
Let us not distance ourselves like ungrateful children, 
This opportunity will not be given to us again!
Let us gift the world a radiant smile, 
Let us say no to war together! 

May the innocent faces of children shine, 
Let the earth not be left to wickedness. 
Let us say to the world, with laughter, 
That no one is afraid anymore, 
We will not surrender the world to the headless tyrant,
Let his vile desires remain in his heart!
In this world, there are countless nations, peoples, 
Each has its own native language, 
In every language, there are countless words, 
With deep meaning and profound wisdom. 
Words cannot be measured, 
Each one is like a unique pearl, 
There is no equal in the world, 
The elixir of kind words soothes the soul!

Let us write melodies with honeyed words, 
Far from hatred, anger, and rage,
Let us erase fearful dreams with benevolence, 
And create smiles and joy on faces! 
Come, masters of words, army of poets,
Let us create a brand-new world once again!
May the fragrance of peace spread everywhere, 
Together, let us compose the anthem of the world. 
The world does not belong to you, 
Nor does it belong to me, 
The world belongs to each and every one of us!
 Let us live with conscience,
With love, with respect, 
Let the world revolve, 
With faith in the future!
Welcome New World!
