MUSAWIR RAAKH Poems

HIDDEN THERE IN ME
THERE IS A SLAVE I DAILY SEE

THE SLAVE OF TIME THE SLAVE OF NEED
...

WHO WOULD SAVE THE DROWNING CHILD
WHO WOULD BECOME THE STRANGER'S GUIDE

WHO WOULD TEACH AN ILLITERATE'S ILLITERATE SON
...

WHEN I LOST MY LAST HOPE
WHEN NO ONE WAS THERE TO COPE

WHEN I WAS THERE TO LOSE
...

I AM A CHILD, DON'T PUT ME IN LABOR
THE WAY MAKE ME WORK WHOLE DAY, TORTURE

EVEN A MAN GO TO OFFICE WITH FREE HAND
...

Command The Death Angel, Oh My Lord!
Which Day Will Be Better Than Her WED?

But I Wonder, How Death Could Kill Me?
...

SOME WORDS NEVER BEEN SAID
SOME WORKS NEVER BEEN DONE

SOME BOUNDARIES BANNED THE HUMAN
...

HOW MUCH WILD WILL HUMAN GO
HOW MANY STONES ON OTHERS, YOU WILL THROW

HOW MUCH YOU WILL POLLUTE THE ATMOSPHERE
...

A LITTLE BOY WITH WAVING CAGE,
ASKED ME ABOUT CUCKOO’S POIGNANT AGE.

IN THE CUCKOO’S EYES, WHEN I GAZED
...

A JOCUND COMPANY OF A BOY,
HELD BETWEEN HE AND HIS TOY

I LOST IN HIS SMILING FACE,
...

JUST TO EARN A PENNY OR TWO
THE SELLER SLAUGHTERED A FLOWER WITH DEW

JUST BLOOMED, MAY BE FIRST DAY OR SECOND
...
