Broken Dreams Poem by Rafique Farooqi

Thousand dreams shattered
Like broken forest tales
Till memories drift from the past
I sit quietly in the darkness
As rest of the world falls apart
I refrain from the freedomless life
With parenthood of sympathies
I 'll embrace the silence again
Like last standing man
With no question and no second thought
Only a quest that drags my neurons
Telling the immortal reality
Fairly preserved on the lips of the time
Feeling life pulse softly on my neck
I can still keep my head high
While I see demons in your eyes
Life will not be forsaken.
In such a dreary pattern of dysfunctional society
And your faceless war plans
That will make you to kneel in the end
Before the rogue underworlds.
