Far Beyond The Worldly Fantasies


By Asim Jawad

A month, special in itself
Helping me train myself
Not an issue to stay hungry
When I'm full of empathy
Never to complain about shortage of time
When I can earn and pray long: my lifeline

Not to hold back from sharing
When all I do now is sincere caring
Donating from my yearly savings
Eliminating the poor's poverty living
It was never about tasty delicacies
Far beyond the worldly specialities

Not a moment to spare
Wasting time; I don't dare
Staying away from all that is forbidden
I discover my human powers that were hidden
No masks to change and fit in
Believe me there's no backbiting

Understanding what was revealed for humanity
I feel it was sent down only for me
With the doors of forgiveness open
Tears flow with none of my past forsaken
It was never about lavish parties
Far beyond the worldly fantasies

Some of us recognize the art beyond the tv screens and some of us fail to find it on our tablecloth. We live in a world of classifications, types, and specifics. So we have classified art as we did to humans centuries ago. Appreciating art that fails to make it to mainstream or to be specific "the internet"...

Stay insatiable. Keep writing!

By Noaman Ali Writing is a form of expression which holds unrivalled puissance to put forward one's contemplations in a manner comprehensible to the reader. It is usually expressed in the form of simple prose to [sometimes] unfathomable catharsis. Now, as a greenhorn to this subject, one might saunter the lanes of Merriam Webster all day long (which, actually is a vital part in the process) and not get too far without one simple sine qua non: reading[¹]. What better way to know where one stands and where to start from other than reading? It can indubitably be said that writing and reading are the two sides of a coin. With profound reading, a tyro is slackened off of his original (usually obdurate) understanding of the process of writing—i.e., HIS initial plan of proceeding. And when we get a brief picture, we can go on about in an orderly and organized fashion which includes paying equal attention to grammar and punctuation. Speaking of which, grammar shouldn't b...
