Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labour, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played, Their lessons...

Age, you’re just a number But sometimes, you’ve made me ponder, Did you make me wiser? Age, you’re just a number But sometimes, you’ve made me wonder Did I grow up to be happy? Or did I sink in tears? Did I become brave? Or surrounded by fears? Born premature,...
Allah’s thrown cursing pin! Violence on the Muslim community in the world, Sign arose for revenge on that oppressing herd. Corruption and misdeeds made human a kind of killing machine. Thus they exhorted to get the darn in. Unjust has a bound that is proved, damn falls when it is...
