Silent caring lot
Oousing and goousing
Heavy breathing and muttering fits
Sometimes pap pap
Facing by without a flicker
Stillness, calmness and painful-patient
Not because that is what was desired
The command became top down
The downers get all the slacking
The uppers continue the silent destruction
Few crumbs scattered here and there
Brains searching for solitude and freedom
Tranquillity disturbs the space! No credible speaker speaks of the harms
Noise is noise they say
Slowly all is socked in
Shocking unannounced deeds
Yes, when it touches you, the uncalled-for deeds
That time you speak and stand
So long, so long
We are all impotent witnesses
Battling the forceful news
Aah news of things we can’t believe
Yet, the news is partly true
Where is the comradeship and nationhood?
The blood of all is at stake
Witnesses! Comfortable are you?

Asalam, thanks for the good comment on bantaba; am humbled....what a galvarnised seasoning of articles penned down by you ... continue the good work; moreso the deen aspect! Surely its only through Him that we can find the meaning of our existence.

Thank you sister Aisha. I am indeed more humbled. I have read all your poems on Gainako and they are master class. I also read most of the articles you forward at the G-post. religion is our number one priority, i am very pleased that an intelligent and beautiful sister like yourself find Islam reassuring and enlightening. I hope and pray our country has many sisters like you. confident, modern and pious. As a commerce student, poetry is new to me, i only started scribing it few months ago. feel free to do a critic. i feel that my poems are very direct. i like your poems, they make me think to unridle the message. any way, accpet my salam.
