Poems of Shahid Abbas from Pakistan

 

"Future"

We are universe's future
Needed time to grow
To flourish
To be educated
Not destroyed
You evil ones
Stop your vile urge
To purge all whom you deem unworthy

We are not the spoils of your unhinged animus
Your ego demands these monstrous acts

We are the innocent
We are your future

Kill us
Kill hope

You will see
In the rising flood of change
Our blood
You will hear forever
The silent screams of babies burning in your flames

You will have nowhere to run
You will never more
Be free of evil coursing through your veins...........

"Homeless"

We are homeless
No shelter found under the naked sky
Our army is weak
Defending the indefensible

We are sick
Our elders worry
While kids scurry to and fro and poor widows cry alone

The fields lie fallow in the cold
We feel alone
No welfare state
nor bon vivant political leaders able to help

We are homeless
Thrown from our abode
Our place of refuge
Our very identity lost

We go to pieces as our kids go to seed
Animals and birds die scrounging for a bit
Yet isn't we who created fertile ground for another extinction

People are shameless
We are homeless
But we will forever remember the jokers
Who enjoyed burning us to the ground

" Precious Gift"

On my birthday today
She gifted me her faithfulness
And made me the king
With such a beautiful ring
We used to stay away
On a different way
She met me
On the map of universe
And called me
Oh dear
I have something to say
I love you
There is no gift precious than this
Giving me happiness and bliss
She is the Royal Stone in my heart
We have a promise not to part..
