The Beauty Of Misery Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

The Beauty Of Misery

Rating: 5.0


Hey!
My little sparkling eyes
Untainted dreams of innocence
Sleep my tarnished hopes
I know not a lullaby
Sleep my only strength
I know not a rebellion

You know me
My dear friend
I’m just an ordinary human
A mere homeless in our motherland

The surges of my juvenile blood
Hold on my beauty of mind
Stop this killing of your own flesh
Handsome blood of our youth
Playing in the scorching sun
Singing the melodies of unwanted pain
Kissing the lips of unseen misery

The curse of being a human
Te tragedy of your brotherhood
The beauty of our common misery
Crying for a little cuddle
Pleading for the real justice
Pining for a healing touch

Hey, You!
My so called brother
You still thinking
Come forward and hold me
In the stretch of your blessed arms
I’m the son of your own soil
I’m the daughter of your motherland
I’m the beauty living in misery
I’m the homeless in my own homeland
