Anger Poem by Syed Ahmed Shah

Anger



Like an aging nutch girl, the lone candle
flickered for a few seconds and died…
The smoke, unwillingly uncoiling,
rises a few inches from the dead wick
and vanishes in the freezing air
like the feverish tail of terrified serpent…

Cricket lovers and midnight revelers
have no time for anger;
but I need a ton of those
strong, sturdy and lasting
like their Denims …

Oh…my people…my people…
