Is It Sad? Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Is It Sad?

Rating: 5.0


Is it sad?
that I am a human like you

Is it a curse?
that I can't cry when I want to

Is it a blessing?
that I am not a common soul any more

Is it right?
when I lie to myself
merely to calm my broken ego

Is it wrong?
when I tell you only truth
and you are expecting glittery lies

Is it justified?
when I can't pay the bills
I'm supposed to

Is it injustice?
when I have delicious feast
and the homeless sleep empty stomach

Is it delight?
when I'm being rewarded
for my God-gifted skills

Is it anguish?
when I think, think and think
but can't help to end the social injustice
