A Complain... But To Whom? Poem by Afzal Shauq

A Complain... But To Whom?

Rating: 4.1


To whom
do I complain
is it here...?

People living round me
whom my heart reaches
trying to beat as one
run from me

I present songs of love
played on my heart's violin
But they would rather
dance for money.

Great poem. The ending is very modern, very much from the third world type of thought.......introspective! ! ! !

Nice poem containing beautiful words to express your pain seeing the plight of society of the present era. The world has been dominated by wealth and now there is no value of man. I like your poem ^_^
