War Tanks rolled over toJenin and its Refugee CampAs battlefields in a minuteClouds of black smokes belchedFrom the nozzle of the missilesTurned the dwellings into debrisAnd lives breathe under rubbleStill desires of livingThat will never be fulfilledSighing are heard in the airUnseen ghosts are roaming freelySearching their brotherhoodsLiving or deadSouls are still weeping bitterlyWith sorrows that never endIn the war turned atmosphereFlying high in the sky appeared The hungry vultures that smellOdors of rotten human flesh As if the open graveyardsTo wipe the terrors and even its ghostsOut of the worldly atmosphereReassuring pure peaceIn every people’s mindIs’t the rebirth of terror Or alternative terror ?© Pushpa Ratna Tuladhar.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then read from the treasured volume  The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet

For if we do not trust as much as we pray, we fail in full worship to our Lord in our prayer; and also we hinder and hurt ourselves. The reason is that we do not know truly that our Lord is the ground from which our prayer springeth; nor do we know that it is given us by his grace and his love. If we knew this, it would make us trust to have of our Lord's gifts all that we desire.
