Isn'T It A Global Tragedy? Poem by Afzal Shauq

Isn'T It A Global Tragedy?



Isn't it a global tragedy..?
if, in addition to all
the religious differences
the racial crises
the lingual restrains
and the cultural biases,
the poor cousins of Adam's family
are intetionally being kept
away from each other
impounded like animals
surrounded by boundaries
under the names of
countries borders

Its everyone's right to have freedom to live..but may be we are too idealistic. They say; 'good fences make good neighbours'. Its issue of power and control. Might is not right always but contextual forces have implications. Your poem raises issues of refuges and assylum seekers which is mostly claimed due to discriminations. You are such a wonderful poet and writter Shauq. Best regards..
