Chains Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Chains

Rating: 5.0


Discussion in history
I need audience
Worthy audience
just one
Or talk to myself
My lamentations
Chaos of history
Sweet nature
In fury too
No justice
Teeming populations
Rising from earth
Hopeless sighs
Look to heavens
Heavens
Also abandoned
Who shall then speak
Who shall then hear
Lamentations
When I have forgotten you
My love
Out of a thousand faces
I see you
And when like you
I also drag chains
Like Jesus
Carry the cross
Marry the Magdalene
Mourning
Or Buddha starving
Rhetoric in democracy
Or communist Utopia
Freedom fighters
The power of military
Some tin pot dictator
Chains every where
For every one
Is wearing
Chains
Under the garlands of flowers
