Axis Poem by HASNAIN AAQIB

Poem: Axis

Centuries.... Countless centuries ago
When the world was created
Mountains, trees, oceans and the earth
Bitter and sweet, dry and wet
The sun, the moon and the stars
Were bestowed the gift of living
The purpose of everyone's creation was set
Everyone had their own limits
From the dust the Almighty
Created man and thereafter
God appended
The vague and ambiguous shadows of good and evil
Then
We heard people say
The earth surrounds the sun
So that it revolves around
We said, O dear man!
All manifestations are created by the Creator
And brought them down to earth
Only for your sake!
You too live on this planet earth
Your influence and magic
Is cast on almost every element of the world

Dear Beloved Man!
Your story is on everyone's tongues
Earth is just an excuse!
You!
It is YOU
Who is
the axis of the rotation
The moon and the stars
Are all subdued
And are subject to you
So it is better for you to understand
Holding fast to the strings of your stole
The moon is also moving
All around YOU!
