O Human Fate Poem by Aftab Alam

Wind blew, birds flew,
Left the nest vacant
In search of a safe place
To lay the eggs: nascent

In a deep dense forest,
Peacefully lay and rest,
Wait till new arrivals fest
Sylvan to greet innocent

Air, birds, water and cloud
They can move freely
Without visa and passport
We are caged in, we can't

Who has made the Nations
And why are we caged?
Who raised the unseen wall,
With guns that stops even saint?

Is peace a social, political,
Religious, monstrous cant?
Or we are all to follow and accept
The follies of our madness: A faint

"O human fate! Thou meanest of animals"
