Abdul Basit Ismail Poet Free verse

They Claim the City

sleeping in comfort
luxury surroundings
pleasure arousing aroma of delicious foods
They claim the city


Arrogant and proud
Fill their thoughts
No equality is available
They claim the city


Privileged and honoured
Amidst people who need concern
But little do they care
Yet they claim the city


Posh cars
Of assorted colour
Lies the lavish
They claim the city


Squander alone 
Smile with all
Swimming in the euphoria of pride
They claim the city


In their hands lies the zeal and veto
To manipulate the the city and its contents
They Walk in town with huge lump of ego on their shoulder
They claim the city 
Abdul Basit Ismail
