We Are~

A Poem by Asif Balouch

War, destruction
Tyrants enforced
Beasts are hiding
Behind innocence wear
Standing on corpses
With victorious gloss
Greed have no limits
Snatch it by force
We are reaping
What we sowed

Rich getting richer
With balanced meals
Ignorant of hunger
Satisfied sleep
Children searching
Debris for leftovers
Poor with tears and
Empty bowls
Kingdom of poverty
We are reaping
What we sowed

Ah! Balouch
Slave we are
Slave we always will be
Slavery is in our veins
We follow our own breed
Blinded with desires
Need reasons to believe
Earthquakes, Tsunamis
Diseases emerged
Time has come
Alas! It's so near
We are reaping
What we sowed
