Some Other Negative Days Poem by Prem Nizar Hameed

1
Day one: Mother's Day
An abandoned mother rocks
The cradle of hope

2
Day two: Father's Day
Father picks trash on street while
Son moves in posh car

3
Day three: Sister's Day
A sister serves customers
In a brothel's room

4
Day four: Brother's Day
A brother kills another
In the name of God

5
Day five: Daughter's Day
A daughter is molested
During the daylight

6
Day six: Leader's Day
A leader gulps public wealth
In gradual way

7
Day seven: Hope Day
All the six days take deep breath
To heave a long sigh

(Senryu, Syllables: 5-7-5)
