Philosophical Life Poem by Naveed Akram

I understood the reasoning and philosophical life,
Like minds display some august reasoning
Inside the islands of doubt that confine me.
The knowledge of the Common Room infects
And leaves us plain, with flight of the roads.
I asked to see the reality of a day that made
A seated pleasure, often the weeks mattered
To the blamed and resolute, why did they strike?

I am a standing pillar of the hills,
Spied upon by the real lovers,
Reason and chance cater for my needs
As the yellow rivers of this nation
Are bleeding with red blood,
And so the reading of ages is bound
To a book of great zeal.
