A Friend Or A Blood Sucker? Poem by Mohammad Akmal Nazir

A Friend Or A Blood Sucker?

Rating: 4.2


I am not in my spirits these days
Someone has taken away my repose
But I shall not name him for he is my friend
Specially the friend of the summer nights
He stings me by blowing an alarm and
Reduces my blood level
In the morning, I see rashes across my body
And begin to question myself
Why the friends of today suck blood?

They must be leeches and the alarm is a foghorn and what you need is iron- lots of iron. Interesting play on words.

Mohd. Akmal writes with great skill and deep insight. A friend is actually an enemy when you realize the havoc he has done behind you. He knows you too well and makes it worse. Akmal further goes to say that he will not mention the name of course because of the confidentiality of their friendship. Nice piece
