Grasping a Chance

A weary bird came in

Lied on the tree for a rest

Looking for a delicious fin

Then travelling to the west

But nothing showed up

So he moved to another tree

For better trophy to catch up

Next hoping his flight will be free

Suddenly a fish jumped up from the lake

Simultaneously he seized it

Unluckily it slipped for him, it became a fake

A strong sigh because of it

And this shall happen to us

If we do not grasp our chance

A Fake Dream

I saw a wonderful castle

Garnished with gold colours

Amazed, I strongly feel

I wished it is not like other fake dreams

I tried to enter that turret

But they did not welcome me

Because neither am I rich nor elegant

They all agreed to dismiss me

Going back home I decided

And never look for something far reached

Perhaps the castle never can be my friend

That the only reason I have realized

But I advise you not to surrender

Because if you do, you will suffer

By Abderrahim Elouahabi
