POEM 274
IDOL PREACHERS
People of the past
shouting one God ...
Preachers
Proud to be called …
The followers of holly faith
But now a days
The followers of same faith,
Seem standing before
these small
and money-oriented gods
And never tiring.
But above all
in submission to these idols,
they don’t like to be named
atheists… as they are.

IMAGE OF HATE
Split into...
The one...
Boiling with anger
Hate...
The other...
Cold as ice
Hate...
Looking in the mirror
Two become one
Both are you.

POEM 276
DOOMED TRAVELER
Its good
I have no wings
otherwise
I would be doomed...
Flying so high
to reach the moon…
My wings scorched
by the radiate sun
Because I
being human
Like others have
the nature of greed.

POEM 277
MIND'S QUESTION
With the early humans
Began the age of brutality
Living in caves
Life was a struggle
Killing was all they knew
The only way to survive
Savages....
Now...?
Some things never change.
The age of brutality continues...
Still they live in caves
Killing one another
Though there is other ways
There is no sign of humanity.
Savages ....

POEM 278
BRIDE OF DEATH
Strange the marriage
the cart of the bribe
Taken by the nephews
of Negro and Mongol
along with the Caucasians
The Battle for one bride
Leads them all to the grave
in a global village…
Where the life
can’t be dreamed ever.

POEM 279
REALIZATION OF
OLD AGE
Beautiful women
arouse in me feelings
Bringing a smile to my face ...
Then the realization...
Feelings of being old
Fearing their disdain
If they should view
the creases in my face.

POEM 280
WHISTLE
In my thoughts
I try to compare
the poor rough people
of Pashtoon soil
with the people of
red and white skin.
Then instead of speaking...
after a cold sigh
a whistle escapes
to my surprise.

POEM 281
DREAMS ARE NOT LIKE THAT…
Everyone joyful
full of strength
quenching their thirst
with blood of others
Each man prancing
Looking like a wolf
Barking over the dumped
bloody organs of human bodies
As I remember ...
The man eaters were glaring
with dangerous eyes
and critical smiles,
I awoke sweating
before they hunted me
Was this a dream
or had the war was started...?

POEM 282
LAW
“ The one with the power,
must be the respected”
This was the law.
The way of justice
when humans
were more like animals.
Still today ...
This is the law
Yet human kind
considers themselves
civilized ...
Creatures of God.

POEM 283
DE-GLOBALIZATION
World leaders call out
"Globalization" ...
The world is growing smaller...
Meanwhile...
Life traditions and fear
cause nations
to wall off.
Borders tighten ...
travel is blocked
And it seems ...
As the world is reversing...
Distances affect neighbors
trust nearly gone
The separation seems
vast not closer...
