The Inauspicious Day Poem by Mohammad Younus

That was an unauspicious day,
When -without asking their consent -
My father and my mother were decreed to go,
To a ghastly show -pre planned in antiquity,
To be performed upon the earth,
To fill time and space with groaning and mourning,
Of the suffering and languishing people,
The serials of the suspenseful drama -unending episodes -constantly being displayed,
Perhaps for the simple reason,
That all may witness and realize,
The emptiness of the earthly life,
And search for an exit to go back -
To the Garden of Eden -
An abode of peace, harmony and love
