Karachi Can't Survive As An Independent And Sovereign State Poem by Akhtar Jawad

No agriculture, no minerals,
no water and no gas,
Karachi cannot survive
as an independent and sovereign state.
Those who believe Karachi
will be liberated from Pakistan
are living in a fool's paradise.
Read history,
disintegration brings
some ad hock reliefs,
with a lot of killings,
but in the long run,
miseries for the people,
who become a puppet
in the hands of selfish politicians.
And what of Karachi,
If Pakistan is further disintegrated,
we'll see a few chess and drought boards,
for the superpowers,
and that will neither be
in the interests of the people of Pakistan
nor in the interests of of our neighbors.
