Life Is Calling. Poem by Wali Jamali
Life Is Calling.
The streets are empty,
Dogs have migrated to near by town.
The sons of adam have lost faith in this ghost -stricken city,
Where blood has replaced water,
The meat has been subdued by human flesh.
Would they still have dared to live?
Certainly not! Absolutely not!
It is now being announced that city has changed.
Streets have given rise to the rose-buds.
The bushes are long gone.
Dogs have decided not to rip apart a thrown child.
Man has sweared not to quench thrist with the blood.
O' outsider! Do you still fear murders on the streets?
Do you still fancy that thrown will not be ripped apart?
Do you still see the doom of life.
Alas! niether you are willing to come to this world.
Nor the deceased to get the rebirth.
Where are you, the sons of adam?
Life is calling you.
You have achieved depth in the images and the poem has power. You capture a world of much brutality. I hope that someday things change for the better. But you might have a long wait for the sons of Adam. Keep writing xoubiya. You are brave and intelligent.
ANOTHER 10 FOR YOU MY DEAR. Wonderful, deep and so sophisticated intellect that results into such bright writing. I dont like dark, but that is life now in so many aspects, dark is trying to prevail, but yes there is hope, when and how? but there is. At the end of the dark tunnel there is always light, maybe not during our life, God only knows, but light will come and supersed. wonderful write. keep writing my dear. just beautiful
I like this poem of yours. You have nicely used the words, and painted a complicated picture through your thoughts. Have a nice day, Gaurav

ver nice words, lets walk into the new life... with rose buds as carpets
i'm coming, the saviour is coming to fix the irregularities, but who would join me? i just can't use my powerful words alone to rectify the matter unless the perpetrators are the actors, nothing more than that.then life would be easier.
Expressive words, heartfelt lines, one can see the experienced pain, very touching. very well crafted, wish future generation get a message from this poem, let life call for a better tomorrow
