The Great Wall Poem by Mohammad Younus

THE GREAT WALL *

Long time ago
God reminds me
I entered into a pledge
With God
I have almost forgotten
My pledge!
But it was there and then,
In front of great God
I said yes
To His question
Am I not your lord?
Then He sent me here
And the great wall rose,
Slowly and slowly
Between me and Him
Until God went
In oblivion
I am crazily trying
To smash the wall
By my head strokes
To break through the wall
I lie down as His shadow.
No longer the light divine
Before me
Only the thick and high wall.
I wanna find my dream!
Who will help me?
To shatter this wall
None but I myself
I am the mason
Who has erected
This great wall
Over my lifetime
When I break this wall
The thousand lights
Of the sun
Shall overwhelm me
And make me
A whirling moth
To fume to ashes
While dancing around
