KNOCKING HEARTS

 

(The poetry of Mr. Shauq makes me cry )

I’m a doctor and not so much competent in writing on poetry but I like poetry very much to read and enjoy. Thank you for offering me your book which isn’t lessen then the memorable gift from your side being  my sweet brother Mr. Afzal Shauq!

 

I can mention here that your vision and approach of thoughts is so realistic, punching and knocking to hearts and souls Mr. Shauq! . May God bless you long life. I  really like the way you express your feelings being the hurt soul relating to a blood shedding soil like my own.

 

Our situation is the same and I dream for the past of my country. And your poems make me cry and realize that as I am also a scary soul of animal world. Always people are dying for nothing. Same like in your country Afghanistan , had been happening since decades but for what and who does? This is a question as you mentioned in few of your verses.

 

I read your poems and like sharing them with family and friends as well. They also like your verses. Specially the following poem, which make us cry for the glorious past..

 

LIKE ANIMALS

*****

living in the city ….

where hearts are hidden

people live in fear

danger on every corner

 

so many are there

not truly human …

always threatening

like animals

 

to the jungle

they should go

to live with their kind

removed from the city.
