Wide Open Eyes Poem by Afzal Shauq
Wide Open Eyes
People of sorrow
liken to a skeleton
they hunger and thirst.
People stripped Bare
like branches of a tree
gone leafless in autumn.
Hearts of the rich
Basking in their luxury
remain eternally blind.
They refuse to see
the devastation and pain
the plight of the poor
