Better Pakistan

Tears in my eyes, pain in my heart The country my forefathers fought for Lost in the pathetic battle of politics Bloodshed keeps ascending, dirty politicians Forgotten land, hopes, and dreams grow thinner every day. The air tastes like poison Sectarianism is a virus eating us alive The feces of poverty, insecurity, and terrorism O Pakistan, rise from the forgotten sands The cords of religion are strangling us Discrimination is a mountain of birds Education is a right for all The unnoticed goodbyes are too much Burdens of the heart, faded warm embrace Let the journey begin, a new step of reformation Our struggles are been stacked like bricks Chase the darkness away One people, one Pakistan Many good things have been done A sea of ugly happenings, kill Time to face the unknown, brave Let write our take in ink and with fire We are here, hope breathes like A burning candle; better Pakistan With Habakkuk Kargbo (Rabbi) Poem Makers SL (17/04/24)
