by Ehsan Sehgal
My memories
Remind me
My first love letter
Consisting of diplomatic
Devotion
I know
After that
A terrible incident
Happened
But Almighty God
Protect me
Do not forget
You have just the tools
To operate in what is what
Do not pretend to me
The spiritual powers
Inspire the visible ways
And all the matters
You will achieve nothing
Before my consent
And yes
The world and its resources
Do not affect me
You can enter
To my glorious kingdom
Only with unconditional
And real love
You will see
The door is open.
