See the sky like a roof over our the heads covering the earth. The same earth under our feet. Running with water from which we drink empting into the oceans touching all the land. The air we breath... The colors of the seasons... The crawling insects... The animals... even the birds... Everywhere the same. Those lives ruled by nature seem truly contented. Only human beings are discontented. Always fighting with each other We are the misfit in natures order. Choosing the way of brutality like animals gone mad. We are no better than them. We hunt... Killing our fellow man Forgetting our humanity refusing to better ourselves to live in peace and happiness. _____ Poem In Pashto By: Afzal Shauq Translated in English By: Alley Boling Book: 'TWIST OF FATES' Poem No.296/Page.370 Web Link: http: //khyberwatch.com/nandara/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=378&Itemid=1 PDF files: http: //khyber.org/books/ashauq/index.shtml Poet's weblog: www.tolafghan.com/members/afzalshauq © Afzal Shauq
