Naveed Akram Poems

Face the distress of modernity with humour,
And describe it to your professor.
He will help and his willing support
Has let you face the world that exists
...

What is their grade, who sing to the above?
Their legs can not carry their bodies,
For they are inferior, they are inferior.
Legs are too much for those who walk,
...

Gustav is widely worshipped,
For he is a god of luxury.
He is to be resurrected when he dies,
And then the riches can be found
...

It is religion that you speak your life for,
With a voice of angels, with certain talk.
Your mother is very great at living with God,
And she is becoming thin, unhappy, and glum.
...

Exert distance and take gigantic steps,
With pity the wicked shall make steps:
Who shall win and adjourn?
Who will carry the flag of victory?
...

Ghosts of the deep,
How awkward you swim,
When attacks are made to fishes,
And they are finished by sea-men
...

Dead are the innocent fellows
Carrying a gesture of unrest -
A miscarriage of justice, the ultimate sin.
They would decide a life if warned,
...

Hunt a sentence this day to the next,
One can not find a finer one
Than the very joke I have reasoned with.
What is this joke? What is that joke?
...

Die as a man and woman did when they did.
To die I just live and then seem to wander from life’s pathway
Into a loving way of day and night to come.
To come my life feels energetic.
...

Destinations over the horizon are keeping us away,
Yet agony angered best the lone warrior who lay.
Detect him, and see him, engaged in conversation,
With a lady who keeps witchery even then: no action!
...
