Why? Poem by Abdul Wahab

Why?

Rating: 5.0


Why had you given me dreams and desires
When you never intended to provide me means to realize them
Why had you given me a life
When you determined not to give me any livelihood?

When you had given me an urge of love
Why do not you let me meet the proportionate receiver
When you had given me hope
Why do not you take away my all frustrations?

Why had you given me power to ponder
When you know I would have my head spin
Why had you given me feelings
When you know I would have my heart ache?

You know when I find no answers
I lay down on my bed
And writhe with agony and pain
Why should happen this to me, why?

I read your many poems, especially the latest ones, though I didn't comment on it. I understood each one of them. I agree with you, this poem. Things started changing after I uploaded my photo, too late I realised..Like as you wrote on my poem Chess? I agree I dont know where I stand now, or where the steps went wrong. Tides came and washed away, leaving nothing on shore, just left me blank...

A poem full of feelings. Man's ability of thinking may be the source of questions without answers. Beautiful poem about life. Thank you.

Every soul that is troubled seek answers.from HIM, Why me? Why me? The world is cruel but we can not be judge. We have to suffer the follies of others. Your poem brings this essence in a very fine way.10/10
