Shame, Shame, Upon Us Poem by Abdul Wahab

When this civilization will die
And taste the fate of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro
To pave away to another one to be born
Then they will dig us and find
We were not a lazy race
We did many things
Some were too great
Some were too stupid
Like we played games of football and cricket
And were too proud
To call them an art
But they would ask and wonder
How really silly we were
Leaving balls of skins cold at home at bed
Twenty two players were running after a round leather
And which were damn dead
And kept Kicking, whipping, pushing, pulling
Dodging and made fowl s
All were bestowed to be our inner human nature
Too fond to exhibit them.of
How foolish we really were!

If we are not really stupid how we could spend so much money
And waste so much energy and time
And rise to the level of frenzy and fall into mass mania
Leaving all development works behind unfinished
Leaving millions of children half fed
Exchange drugs
Bribe prostitute just to organise them
What an astounding ridiculous human being we really are!
Shame! Shame! !
Shame! ! ! ! Upon us!
