Paper's plea !

Paper's plea !

A Poem by Syeda Ayesha
"

this poem encompasses sentiments of a paper which feels quite helpless .

"
Forgive me O' Lord 
for it's not my mistake,
despite of evidences I am proven fake,
defied clearly by the devils in disguise
in order to victimize;
the masses keen to know the truth,
journey of deception begins from polling booth
where my legitimacy is dragged through the mud
ill game of power is won by blueblood,
all the concrete plans, figures and facts
alliances, false agreements and pacts
are hanged onto me with dragon toothed pegs,
the burden of convictions instilled upon me
haunts me countless days and nights,
corrupted hands devour me like termites,
tongue-tied, criticized, eventually denied
lost my credibility, can no more be relied,
For ages, I remain sealed in an envelope
far more agitating than being bound with a tight rope,
I crave for someone to smoothen up my neat folds
challenge the words scribed in italics and BOLD !
but Alas! like always I am ignored,
my face wrinkles from the guilt 
that is surely not mine
I wish I could for once, define
the agony 
killing my patience ;
in no time.
I am helpless,
but you must know
the strength I behold;
is enough for the covers to blow
oh wait no more, oh wait no more!
for true warriors there's no exit door
use me righteously
pour out your heart
leave the rest just do your part
bargain of innocent lives, to build a realm 
where illegal activities overwhelm;
crumples my left over sanity
oh wait no more, oh wait no more
to stand up for the sake of humanity
