What Happened To You? Poem by Afzal Shauq

What Happened To You?



That was you...
Hey Pashtoon!
keeping the people going
moving life forward
they followed your steps,

But look at you today
You can not move
strong legs now useless
You seek aid

Unlike the blind...
You have eyes
which are healthy
but you will not see

In time to come
The eventuality is
You will go unrecognized
and lose all your dignity
