Absurdity Poem by Aamir Abdullah

Our bowls were empty
And our lips tasted
Neither a sugary delight
Nor a sharp bitterness
Still our crimes were unforgivable
And our ages were penalized

Thrown away.......
Thrown far away.......
From the moonlit nights
We forgot the caressing
Of the soft light beams

(A chick with its beak
Tries to break the shell
From inside
But can't tear apart hard coverings
Spread, layer upon layer
Freedom is a dream of
Every single genome
But dream ends up
Into caliginous depths)

We were tired
But couldn't stop to take a nap
We, the captives of our destiny
Lived with agony and pain
Hidden beneath our dusky skins
What was our life
And what was its worth
We were crushed and squeezed
For him, whose smiles
Were extracted
From the essence of our screams
His body had sucked our brightness
To become visible....! ! ! !
