Friends Or Enemy?

The question... who to avoid or whose hand I shake? I see them With their angelic looks... Great deceivers sucking life's blood doing satanic acts. I see them with dusty tattered clothes... the wandering lost miss used by those of wealth always looking skyward. I see them With sweet flowery speech... Having granite hearts and the looks of a snake hidden their venomous bite. I see them With hundreds of faces... Flattering their tongues lacking humanity and not worthy of trust. And again the question... who to avoid or whose hand I shake? _____ Poem In Pashto By: Afzal Shauq Translated in English By: Alley Boling Book: 'TWIST OF FATES' Poem No.6/Page.33 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
