People With Cut Heads Poem by Afzal Shauq

I remember....
yesterday
heads were attached

I remember also...
How they moved
talk and laugh...

It happened suddenly
everyone found
carrying their head.

blood dripped down
all seeming to say
what is the cause...?

No one aware
These heads are dead
Their mouths sewn shut

Void of speech
Their eyes closed,
still they are walking

The dead keeps moving
Human beings shoulders hanging
unable to restore life to the head
