The Verses of Hamed Karimi

By Hamed Karimi

This book is for anyone that wants to read, love, relish, and hate anything about a book such as this. This book which I have written right from the very basic to the primeval instincts of a human beinghappy, sad, in love, hated, tortured, and rejected, to the inflaming hatred that one might have for the wrongs of society and all that promulgates from hence.

You might find the contents of this book resonating either one or perhaps another side of the human emotion and the human psyche, which is so in total grasp of the situation and the instigation of the human ego and stigma that accompanies it along with hardship of reality, the sole remission which is giving in to the ecstasy and gravitating to the better end and leverage that one seeks. I have hoped to fulfill that by writing this bookcompiled of short stories, quotations, poetries, paragraphs, mini plays, and three writings that I just added for the heck of it as I was deeply involved with them.

To anyone who dares to dream.

This book is for anyone that wants to read, love, relish and hate anything about a book as such as this, which I have written right from the very basic to the primeval instincts of a human being - happy, sad, in love, hated, tortured and rejected to the inflaming hatred that one might have for the wrongs of society and all that promulgates from hence.

You might find the contents of this book resonating either one or perhaps another side of the human emotion and the human psyche which is so in total grasp of the situation and the instigation of the human ego and stigma that accompanies it along with hardship of reality, the sole remission which is giving in to the ecstasy and gravitating to the better end and leverage that one seeks- I have hoped to fulfill that by writing this book: compiled of short stories, Quotations, Poetries, Paragraphs, Mini Plays, and three writings that I just added for the heck of it as I was deeply involved with them.

To anyone who dares to dream…

THE BOY AND THE KING

Once a king came to power and asked his public what should he do for them?

The public said what can he do for them?

The king replied ‘I am your father and you are my children, I will hold you to my bosom. Come ask!!!’ The king said.

The first person said ‘What can you do to increase our farming grain?’

The king replied ‘I will double the grain you farmers get, this should make you happy!!!’

The commoner bowed and walked back into the crowd.

Then a woman came forward and said ‘My king what will you do educate our children?’

The king replied ‘I will make it my priority to educate our children!!!’

But the woman said ‘My son is being well educated, but he still gambles for his age’.

The king said ‘let me talk to your son and I am sure he will never gamble again.’

So the boy was summoned and he said ‘I like to gamble because it makes me rich!!!’

The king said ‘Then why do you study so hard?’

The boy replies ‘So I can get a good job, gamble more make more money!!!’

The king said ‘So you would be richer.’

Yes- rich and richer!!! The boy replied.

‘So’ the king said ‘Well then you want to be as rich as me?’

‘Absolutely’ the boy replied.

‘Well what are you going to do after that, have my kingship? The king asked.

‘I am betting on that!!!’ The boy said leaving the king speechless.

THE SUPERNOVA

Once in deep dark space there was a supernova, the star said to his fellow star, ‘I am dying and I am crying please help me.’

The other star said ‘My old friend your tears are fire and inferno!’

So the dying star said ‘My friend one day you will have your supernova and if your friends don’t help you who will?’

The other star said ‘You are right, but I will be turned into ashes and dust if I will come near you!’

Then he said ‘Shed some tears, for me won’t you?’

The other star said ‘All right, I will.’

Then he shed his tears and an inferno exploded out if him and the star was burned even more and the other star started exploding even more and the dying star said

‘What have you done, my supernova has increased!!!’

Then the other star replied ‘I told you not to make me cry, it is your own fault!’

Then the dying star said ‘All right then I am not going to talk to you anymore!’

Then the other said’ Fine, but because of you my supernova has come.’

Then the other star said ‘Then let’s cry together!!!’

THE TWO FISH

Once in the ocean two fish were quarreling.

The first fish said to the other ‘Can you ever hunt down a shark?’

The second fish said ‘I can dream, I can do anything in my dreams!’

The first fish said ‘I can do anything, in my dreams or out of it!’

The second fish then said ‘So you can hunt a shark?’

‘Hunt’ the first fish said surprisingly? ‘Yes I can, no shark can come near me!’

The second fish said; ‘Then let’s have a competition, whoever hunts a shark, rules the ocean!!! Agreed!!!’

Agreed!!! The first fish replied.

They prepared for the challenge and both decided where to hunt the shark.

The first fish went to the ‘Atlantic Ocean’ and the second one went to the Pacific Ocean. Both looked for a shark.

The first one looked for a feeble old shark. The second one looked for a young new born shark.

The first one found an old shark and the second found a young new born shark and both of them started planning their attack.

The first one saw the old shark just floating and bit its tail and ran away out of fear.

The second one did the same thing and ran away.

Then they both met and said ‘I had a great shark at my mercy, but I let it live.’

Then they both said ‘You know what shark or not we will still have some adventures.’

Then first one said ‘I’ll keep the Atlantic and you keep the pacific.’

Both agreed and as soon as both left each other’s company and as soon as they parted; the first ran away to the Pacific and the second one ran away to Atlantic.

THE BOOK AND THE KNOWLEDGE

Once a book said- ‘knowledge, you were born because of me!’

Then the knowledge said ‘You were born because of me!’

The book replied ‘The book is basically knowledge!’

Then knowledge said ‘The knowledge is basically book!’

Then the book said ‘I am the thought of the writer!’

The knowledge said ‘I am the perception of the writer!’

Then they both kept quiet and both said ‘let the writer decided that!’

THE GOLDEN FAIRY

Once there lived a fairy and all she wanted was gold awake and in her dreams.

She used to burrow inside the ground, all to find the gold of which she was of fond.

Then she flew to the mountain high, thought she then that how she should dive.

Dive inside the ground she shall and she shall find the gold she wants.

Then she did find the golden bright, the gold was hers to times’ despise.

She kept digging the gold outside till she aged and time despised.

She lamented what had she despised was the time that she had tried.

Old with age she sorry was, with her aged feathers she did fly,

To the top of the mountain high, looked she around to find a soul,

But found she no one and she cried, no one to be seen and heard,

She had made a mountain of her golden dream that had become of her nightmare and scream.

She cried and screamed and smashed the mountain and buried she was inside her dream.

THE ARMOR AND THE SWORD

Once in an armory there was a sword and the sword was of that of the king.

The sword was pompous and proud. He used to brag that he had been to battles with the king and slayed many foes!

And there was the armor of the king and he used to brag, that he had shielded the king in every battles that the king had gone to!

Once they were alone in the armory and both of them started talking.

‘Hello’ armor said the sword. ‘How are you?’

The armor said ‘I am fine how about you?’

"I am good thank you!’ The sword said.

‘Well I have been to the current battle with king and I slayed many foes!’

‘Well I protected the king in that battle and took many wounds!’

‘I am the reason the king lives.’ said the sword.

‘I am also the reason the king lives.’ said the armor.

‘I am sharp.’ said the sword.

‘I am sturdy and swords can’t pierce me!’ said the armor.

‘Well said the sword ‘I’ll live for you and you live for me.’

‘Why did you say that?’ The armor said.

‘Well’- said the sword- ‘If I can’t beat you I will join you!’

THE BOY AND THE EAGLE

Once there was a young boy. He used to hunt birds.

Once an Eagle saw him hunting the birds.

The boy used to hunt them with bow and arrows.

The Eagle was sad that the boy would hunt down innocent birds of the sky.

The boy was busy aiming at the birds that the eagle could not bear it anymore.

He flew down to the boy and said ‘I am an eagle of the sky and I want to talk to you, please do not hunt me!’

The boy said ‘Why do you want to talk to me? I am a hunter and I should kill you!’

‘But why should you kill me I am here to talk with you!’ Said the Eagle

‘What do you want to talk with me about?’ Said the boy

The eagle said ‘I am much grieved that you kill innocent birds of the sky. And I am here to plead with you as not to do this.’

‘But if I don’t hunt birds how would I feed myself? The boy said

‘Why don’t you hunt fish of the ocean?’ said the eagle.

‘But if I would hunt the fish of the ocean, what would you hunt, how would you feed yourself?’ said the boy

The eagle was surprised and said ‘well that is a good question, what would I hunt?’

Then the eagle said ‘All right you hunt, the birds and I will hunt the fish!’

‘All right.’ the boy said and killed the eagle!!!

THE HOLY MAN

Once a holy man searched for the sign of the divine and he wandered from deserts to woods and forests.

He prayed in Christian ways and he prayed for two things; either see the face of the Lucifer or see the face of God; as if he sees the face the Lucifer, God would be pleased with him as he would shun the devil just like did Christ Jesus and live eternally.

And if he sees the face of god, it would mean that God is pleased with him he will live forever again!

So one day he fell asleep and saw two faces and a voice told him that one face is the face of the Lucifer and the other is supposedly the face of God.

He rejoiced in his sleep and thought he has fulfilled his destiny and he rejoiced even more.

But then the voice told him, he is dreaming and he can live forever only if he is asleep forever and he woke up and cried and all the more and then he thought to himself, if he sleeps forever, truly he will live forever and then picked a knife and said to himself, now he will truly be asleep forever and stabbed himself in the heart and died.

THE MANSION AND THE HOUSE

Once there was a rich man and he had a mansion and then there was poor man and he had a house just in front of the mansion.

The mansion was haughty and it always bragged about its beauty and space.

But the house was quiet polite and did not brag about itself.

The mansion used to think that the house was disgracing its beauty.

So one day the mansion asked the house to leave and let it shine for everyone else to see.

The house said ‘I am independent of you.’

But the mansion said ‘My beauty is disgraced by your ugly appearance.’

The house said ‘I am very happy with my appearance my owner and his guests love me!’

‘And my owner and his guests love me!’ The mansion said.

The house said ‘I am twenty years old!’

The mansion said ‘I am ten years old!’

The mansion said ‘I am expensive!’

The house said ‘I used to be expensive!’

The mansion said ‘I am powerful!’

The house said ‘I used to be powerful!’

The mansion rebuked the house and said ‘You will be demolished very soon!’

The house said ‘Impossible!’

Then all of a sudden there came a tornado and the house was destroyed.

‘Poor thing’ said the mansion and said ‘oh’ well, had to happen had to happen.’

Then again all of a sudden there came an earthquake and the mansion was destroyed.

THE MOCKING BIRD AND THE EAGLE

Once an eagle asked a mocking bird ‘Why are you called a mocking bird?’

The mocking bird replied ‘Because it is my name!’

Then the mocking bird asked ‘Why are you called an eagle?’

The eagle replied ‘Because it is my name!’

Then the eagle went on "Do you mock others’ perhaps? Or it is your name?’

The mocking bird said ‘No!’

The eagle said ‘There is no flaw in my name!’

The mocking replied ‘And there is no flaw in my name!’

The eagle said ‘I think your name mocks you!’

The mocking bird kept silent for a while and said ‘Sir if there is one who can claim mockery, it is me!’

‘So?’ The eagle said.

‘So I just mocked you’ replied the Mocking bird proudly.

THE MOON AND SUN

Once the Moon asked the Sun, "Why do you shine so brightly?’

The Sun replied "I am made this way!’

Then the Sun asked the Moon, "Why is your shine so less?’

The Moon replied
