POEM 175
AS PER THE FALSE SAY
(Keeping Afghani Jehad in view)
What do you want?
Whom do you fight?
Questioning...
Armed soldiers
Make no reply
glancing about
with strange eyes.
Everyone questions
No one answers
What is the truth
the cause for fighting
All these brothers
Ready to kill
each under falsehood's
sacred saying
"If your mother
childless make
soldier of honored
He who wins
and should you die
by your brother's hand
a declared martyr
you will be."

POEM 176
TO NATASHA...
You did not inspire
face of flower's beauty ...
Well hidden thorns.
tore my hearts flesh
Feeling your cuts...
I keep to myself
my heart to protect.
But always you follow...
like a Shadow.

POEM 177
TODAY'S HUMAN BEING
" As much as
desire evil for others
require good for yourself"
These virtues
now practiced
by human beings
the Iblis became Satan
in place of the angel

POEM 178
THE NIGHT MEMORIES
I've been thinking
there is no other
Throughout this world
that burns with desire
as I do.
Then I notice
They are coming
Sister's of fire
Now burn round me
each a flame
Now I'm alive
These flames of beauty
with burning coals
of sweet desire's fire
searing me.
and now I am ashes
floating in the wind
sweet memories
Jane...Christy ...Tina
my past flames.

POEM 179
ONE BODY ..
BUT DIFFERENT PARTS
This body...dead
short your stay
soldier...
With head of Pashtoon
Arms of Tajik and Uzbek
Legs of Hazara and Darri
The nation of Afghan
with oneness and equity
would never advance

POEM 180
THE HUMAN OF 21st CENTURY
From...
wearing leaves
living in caves
of the mountains
or in the jungle.
The desire for more
were not as we have
the beauty of the life
may be viewed different
Think...
If equally educated
no competition
nor need for advancement
to have a conscience
Oh but have...
True humanity
An end to blood shed
by the human hands
To have peace in the 21st century.

POEM 181
BUSHES GROW...
The time
different
yet they chopped off necks
for their head adorned necklaces
Last night
Deal done
and by your good luck
businessmen have left your head
Night passed
day came
the sun has appeared
over the great mountain peaks
The State
Grave yards
Yet new bushes grow
bringing hope for a new life

POEM 182
THE INCIDENT
( The assassination of Dr. Najeeb)
Never forget...
Heart breaking...!
You neighbors
like animals
satisfied
Your Blood lust
by hanging
that white hair old man
A shame to all
those three days
This keeper of the peace
In the main street hung.

POEM 183
BETWEEN ME & YOU...
In matters of love…
I am moving
towards madness
leaving behind
myself...
you’r advancing
slower than a snail
yet true lover we be
POEM 184
TIGERS LOST
I seem awake...
the streets
of the village
are filled
with dogs barking.
Why the dogs …?
Where have the tigers gone?
I was amazed
seeing dogs
blood dripping...
mouths wounded.
Again ...
I dream
with hopes of seeing
a better future ..
But the dream...
again dogs barking
hidden now in skins
like camels.
Perhaps ...
The skins a disguise
to escape their enemies
And leave undetected
Later ...
members of my nation
were burdened with sorrows
worries and deprivation.
All the poor ...
Belted by the neck…
Like meek sheep,
Being led to slaughter
