Deciduous Poem by Saquib Anwar

Poet draws his inspiration from his visit of the banks of the river Ganges in Varanasi, India.He contrasts the ritual after death of an atheist, usually a simple affair, with that of a believer.In this case, of Hindus. Although his stance is satirical, but he doesn't objects from accepting that the death as a believer is a better and more involving affair due to the rituals done by his/her loved ones.
