Nature grills sapiens
pertinent requisitions
piercing inquisitions
Humanity ignores
convenience sake
No physical pain felt
No catastrophe of worthy dealt
Till now, till now
Waiting for Armageddon
Setting up earthly Eden
with wasted precious source
created in toxic chimneys
poison gathered
being scattered,
land reclaimed,
new destinations proclaimed
Why run to ruins,
what for, blame who
Unanswered, ignored
look the other way
waiting for
an unscheduled
judgement day

Queen and country

My castle my queen,
Life how it’s been
Excesses and lean
Happy, bored, mean
Blind spots unseen
Forget all, enjoy the scene

Display

Affection passionately shown
Shame left alone
Happiness reflected
Jealousy deflected

Pains, aches hidden
frowns get ridden
Envy deflated
Modesty inflated

Destiny reckoned
Knowledge beaconed
Lust utterly weakened
Friends tightly hugged
Experiences pursued rugged

Family immensely loved,
Lovers intimately kissed
deceased dearly missed
Life enjoyably passed
it will not last, for long

Transcending

honour, bravery,
character, chivalry
transcends time
weaknesses inherent
poor excuses apparent
in deeds’ absence

Geometry

emotions circle
worries encircle,
affections square
touches required,
loathing triangle
hate angle,
stress cylinder
thoughts plunder,
lust hexagon
passion lexicon,
ideas cube
missing lube,
life sans shape,
ready to snap

Concrete oasis burning

Humans worse than
animals at the gates
murdering anyone who
they see against their fates
hands are blackened
by the blood they spill
eyes red, heavens
nightmares their heads fill
without looking at faces
who they kill, they kill
innocent screams in fear,
ignored by savages with no ears

This was written after a terrorist attack in Karachi in June 2014, a city I am fond of and have amazing memories. The photos are from Jinnah international airport which was targeted and many innocent people were killed, all terrorists are dead as well.

Existence

Happiness could do us a favour
Instead it burns in flames
Whatever we have done to ourselves
Emotions stare, hide in shame
Pride look at us in disdain
There is no one else to blame
A simple smile is enough of a proof
Existence we can claim
But don’t. Torture is required
Assassinations, murder is required
Screams, nightmares,
Obscene materialistic
Hallucinations are required
When will we learn!
