I Am Not A Follower Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

I don’t agree to…
What has been said?
To seduce,
The miserable humanity…

Am I a black,
But conspicuous slave girl?
Do I look like one?
I think,
You are still dazed;
I am an ordinary Human,
People call me by this name…
I’m NOT special,
Still I don’t agree to your terms…
Come to my terms,
Or shut the door at my face;
Please do it with some guts,
I won’t be scared…
Because,
I’m NOT a follower,
I’m a dreamer…

If you can,
Plunge me in deep slow sleep,
But you can never stop;
The rapid movements of my eyes…
Because,
I’m NOT a follower,
I’m a Dreamer…
