Another Tale Of Fate

A Poem by Asif Balouch

For some
Another year passed

For few
It was just yesterday

For many
Time never moved
Only numbers did changed

For them
Power is in their hands
Conquering what remains

For those
Suffering entered uninvited
Poverty, no more food to fed

For him
Greed is good, sacrifice
Anyone who comes in way

For her
A queen of self desires
All peasants have to obey

For you
Blind with open eyes
And wants to stay that way

Alas! Asif
For me
Smiling whilst shading tears
On the helplessness of us
Writing another tale of fate
