Thoughts I Sing Are His Soul
Variable faiths adopted and practiced by each race loiter,
Between the sunrise and sunset, are witnessed by our life-
Churches, mosques, and temples are monstrously built,
To worship the Almighty to protect us from any strife!
The spirit of good reign thrives in stellar space,
But the terror of desert softly questions not why-
And my poetic eyes wander or bathe in copper sunrays,
As a child of the morning star under the Autumn sky!
I have leaned freely on the God’s shoulder, as my pillow,
And sung His glory over happy or sad days and nights-
It taught me nothing but the madness of life in dessert,
And there’s neither God nor evil, in darkness or lights!
I never heard it or learnt in any other decisive way,
But it may be the superstition in my Bedouin soul-
And the race issues of the world burn my thoughts,
To make me feel like a horrible living flaming coal!
At times, I dare neither to lose nor to fear,
About a situation that may suddenly appear-
But in others, my Gypsy-broods seem to tell,
I should feel neither a shame nor a cheer!
So, in a paradoxical manner of my freedom banner,
I surely confess: Thoughts that I sing are His soul-
And my solo ride of life on the global ocean of love
Will dilapidate me with horses’ neigh, or rock-n-roll!!
