Historical Decision Poem by Afzal Shauq

“If today... We
claim ourselves
true human beings
then the animals of forest
should be blamed
for the killing.”

When this decision was made...
the wolves gathered in assembly
quickly sharpening
their teeth gone blunt.
Preparing their attack on the sheep
running towards the village.
