Let Them Fall Into Fast Asleep Poem by Abdul Wahab

Let Them Fall Into Fast Asleep

Rating: 4.0


Oh, I see you
To arrive here
But you should not be seen
by others

Do not mind
Have a seat for a while
My sons are sleeping all fast

The eldest is very good
He steals and manages his own food
and Sleeps well

The second one wakes up in the middle
Of his sleep, stares at me without any thought
Again he falls asleep

the youngest one is very naughty
he shouts and cries
and asks for food
but I have diverted his mind
with some false promises
and shown some scintillating pictures of bars and restaurants
now he is in fast asleep

My interpretation is not too fast, but the poem's composition shows it has deep inside, agree with Sir Aftab ...nice poem with duality of meaning
