Insanity (Burning Cities) Poem by Ejaz Khan
Insanity (Burning Cities)
Swaying between lucidity and insanity
Turmoil turning in false tranquility
Fears soothed by twisted beliefs
Rationality drowned in excitement of expected rewards
The gaze turned to swarthy spots
Where wind of hatred sweeps
A world so unreal, so distorted
Awaits the victims unaware
Children imprudent
Belonging to misguided ranks
Not knowing that grounds beneath their feet
Exhale the fumes of intoxication
Bending their tiny wills
To extent of suffocation
Exposing them to psychosis
A realm from where they can proceed
Without guilt or conscience
And take lives of those around
Sending terror waves
Living hell appears for innocents
Rain of coins for few
Burning cities...yes...burning issues there...burning pain in these lines...burning, every heart everywhere that cares for human lives... i under stand you have written this piece on the backdrops of Meena Bazar massacre at Peshwar...i share your views your concern your pains...10
Ending with those wonderful two lines....superb poem...suitable title....thanks a lot
