Wanderer

 Wanderer

Homes deserted

Destroyed by power and prejudice

The blood encrusted brick and concrete dust,

The remains of living, of hope

A memory now

Replaced by pain and hunger

While legs worn and weary,

On shoes broken by endless footsteps

Camp in a pulverized arena

Undefeated,

The donated blanket,

The small gifts of living, a hope

A future, I wander, I wander

I wonder.

Hello dear Carol.
Too you're welcome.
Yes that's a great poem.
And about Galaxy, it's true because Falaki means Skyey or we can say it Galaxy.

Hello Kamran

Thank you
A wonderful quote from Khayyam

Your picture is appropriate. Kambiz tells me Falaki means Galaxy

The firmament secretly whispered in the ear of my heart:
'' Are you aware of the order issued to me about destiny? ''
'' If I had the authority about my own rotation,
I would have delivered myself from wandering about.''

'' KHAYYAM ''
