I Occur With You

I Occur With You

By: Husam (Sam) Salman

There, on the evening banks

Of tried and rice thrown confetti

We rested between

Drinks and despair

Between parties and tidings. 

There, in the future tomorrow

We began to understand to let go

That it was about how things

Have been and were once done. 

But to re-examine the whole

To reflect on the "truths"

On bad habits and

New traditions. 

My Yuletide, my heart treat – you

My, how celebrations took on

New – everythings.

How we endlessly roamed 

Without purpose

Or destination for too long

Blaming "this year" for 

Our lives woes and all 

That is wrong with life. 

I receed without notice

To exceed me today.

This life lesson learned

Classroom of life ran long

They all saw you as a monster

A coup was forming to fire you...

Before you shot that guy's face.



Beyond the borders you traveled

Your teachings laced in death

You taught the wolves they have teeth

And plotted to destroy the world.



Your ways will echo the bowels of history

Of corruption, cowards and conspiracies

Of giving up rights and freedoms as Americans

For the betterment of America, they should.



Your morals lack philosophy

Are short of fair and far from just

Forever torture of the world

Your students will practice.


You're living a good life

With no governor and limitation

Fray away from kindness of humanity

For the lining of your eternal pockets and coiffeurs.


You are the dark time that came into

Our homes everynight

Screaming the need for your newly

Hatched fear driven war

Your family will suffer their name

But you will be dead - comfortable without woe.



There were thousands of cries

For "this to end" and us "to STOP"

Answer to these pleas

Surfaced - torture was conducted

To see if we could prevent

More violence form happening.





On one hand the mind wants

Because it is a thinking device

On the other, the heart forces

Our head into our hands



You cannot prevent war

With WAR! That lesson is

Bleak with little results

Except enemies

Practice what you teach.

So that your war into the infinity

Lives.
