Trahimaam-Protect us
When there was a complete silence
surrounding me,
A breeze of low whisper came.
From where? I wonder,
Looking down at my feet.
No, it is not from them,
Then ,I proceed to bring
my ears near to the ground.
Aha! from here it is,
but how ?
and what?
To find the answers
I paused for a moment
waiting for it to come again.
And it came again
But now as a scream
Trahimaam!-protect us
as loud as thunder!
Who will protect and whom to?
from who ?
The questions grew
Then I heard deeper-
hearing those who
are lifting the very ground
on which I stood,
I saw them as well as
those few for
which they are lifting,
surprising it was.
More shocking of it all-
I saw myself in both the places
among downs ,among ups
how and why?
The more I realise
the guilt becomes deeper.
I saw those dying
by the immense weights
but for whom-those who
never dared to look down.
Trahimaam! again!
Expecting a helping hand
of the one higher than the
people in peaks.
However,They cannot dare to even
have a touch of disbelief.
They cannot question-
'Are those hands only
for the ones above?'
They cannot look up to the sky.
Scared I was
looking for distractions
to ignore the situation.
But once again
it came
Trahimaam!-the scream of not
only human but others too.
Then... finally there came the distractions
Now, I was there
but the silence was gone.
I carried on not ever mentioning about this.
And,that silence was never achieved again
so the screams were never heard
Anymore.
