BUTCHER’S KNIFE

Stainless steel I once was !

Alas!

Shaped by fate

Sharpened by circumstance

Now!

Stained with  blood

Rusting with guilt

Waiting to be thrown away

The miserable butchers knife !  

SHOOT ME !

Gag me! Kill me!

I am the blasphemous heretic!

Its my turn today!

Shoot me !

Shoot me as you shot them all

Shoot me !

Even as  I utter  these words

Shoot me ! 

Shoot me point blank!

Let my skull explode

Let my brains splatter

Let my curdled blood flow

The heretic still says! 

Listen you fools!

The last drop of blood  will drain from my carcass !  

But Love eternal; shall   forever  flow !

SEA OF DAMOGRAN

Two worlds meet

Ideas clash

Alas now!

In  the sea of Damogran

The cold blood flows 

TODAY AT SCHOOL

Today at school

Sarfraz and I

Playing hide and seek

And then ...

A Big bang!

My brain splatters!

splinters of  flying bone!

My young blood fatally flows !

But why........?

PLASTIC BOMBER

Neither dead; neither alive!

Yet!

Gripped by fatal devotion!

Silently waiting for the moment!

My heart and timer both tick on!

Caught between an idea and a button

As I still say my last prayer

 The fate of the soulless hangs pointlessly with me!  

And finally! The moment of!

The deafening violence!

My heart explodes in evanescent bliss

And my mind evaporates

Scattering with it my love everlasting for you

Oh my Beloved!

With splattered brains and shredding plastic!

 I finally enter!

Enter into thy ever merciful gates of heaven! 

SILENT WISDOM

If you can see the hidden shadow of sorrow,  behind the crescent of every smile

If you can feel the wounded heart bleeding,  behind the sharpened spear of anger

If you can see the darkened clouds of fear gathering,   before the ravaging storms of violence  

If you can see emptiness in all; and  fullness in all emptiness

If you can understand this wisdom and yet be keep your silence 

  

Can you still be proud my friend!    

THE HEINOUS FACE OF HUMAN NATURE

Black and white, and shades of gray

Love and war; in work and play

What makes you skip; what makes you stay?

Oh! This world of stealth and prey!

Rosy words, may paint the front

But  thorny backs, do bear the brunt

Locks of hatred, under smiling hats

Brothers in arms yet racing rats!

Slithering serpents on a selfish trail

Another life form beneath the veil

Filthy in feelings, and stooping in stature

Insightful yet an  unsightly creature

Oh! How monstrous, is the heinous  face of  human nature!

MALICE IN WONDERLAND

Malice in wonderland

Vineyards of wrath

Fountains of anger          

Look what’s it brought!

Hurricanes of violence

From the eye of hate

Man and misery  

What a dismal state!

From greed to gruesome

Regressive, all the way

Stuck to his belligerence

How long can he stay?
