O Thought, Which Way You Drifted? Poem by Aftab Alam

Should I blame to this world?
Here we, from heaven hurled!
This is the beautiful earth, gifted
To stay, to make it more beautiful
(O thought, which way you drifted?)

Whenever I see children, I find;
colours of nature in their mind,
As they are behind butterfly,
Dragon fly, flowers; they cry
(O thought, which way you drifted?)


They love rain and rainbow
Colourful birds and their songs
They love to play on meadow
“A colourful world they longs”
(O thought, which way you drifted?)


Mountain, fountain, river and brook
They are behind the nature, look;
An easeful entity on useful nature
Why we lost? Where is the future?
(O thought, which way you drifted?)
