Afghan Wounded Poem by Afzal Shauq

Afghan Wounded

Rating: 3.5


Afghan wounded
Seeking treatment
you medicate...
But you must know
This is a wound
Never to heal
oh doctor...!
Pain now
their nature...

And nature
never changes.

Very well put indeed. There will be no peace until we learn to live in peace.

When the seed was sown you were asleep down When the thorns weeded you were dancing crowned When the sprouted Cactus its spikes bleeding spared not the passer-by what use wasting cry past tense cannot be future tense Histories could not be Geographied......................
