Ouroboros

The oppressed inherits the mind of the oppressor.

The victim inherits the pain of the aggressor.

The student inherits the knowledge of it’s professor.

Expressed

I’m pressed for time,
Impressed by mime,
Distressed, oppressed
And stressed by crime.

I’m best when I’m
On quest to climb;
Caressed by rhyme,
I’m in my prime.

Oasis

Overwhelmed by dire thirst
Oppressed without water
Over the next sand dune
Offered in a vision
Optical illusions
Outcrops of tall date palms
Oasis; a mirage

Skills and Knowledge

Skills may be acquired under compulsion

But

Knowledge can never be assimilated by an

Oppressed mind!

I Will Be Glad

So many things have happened that makes me depressed
Making me feel like a victim and an oppressed
But today I have decided to be glad
No matter what happens I refuse to be sad

Dribbling In the Gulag

A drug smuggling dribbler is in a pickle
Commie Lebron is acting quite fickle
she should rot in a gulag
with this self-oppressed snob
until they choke on the hammer and sickle

Abc, Follow Me

A badly crazed, disgustingly earnest feline
grossly, haughtily, ignorantly judges kangaroos,
losing many niggling oppressed pumas
quietly reserving skunks to understand
very wayward x-rays, you Zebras.

Abuse

Agony of oppressed abused women,

               Foeticide unjustified,

            Teach respect, enforce law !

Iron Clad Genocide

Sadly, as before
we support the Terrorist State
not the oppressed
not the child on roller skates
we support the Zionist hate

snipers shooting freedom
daily

every fatality
	a testament
		to the crime

Victim Blaming

Oppressed and suppressed
Facing hate speech
Rude snarky remarks
Unsympathetic sympathies
Bully laughs
Bizarre comments
Negative feedback.
Note.Victim Blaming is common in Pakistan.
Stop meddling and mind your own business.

Unchanged

The oppressors are united and powerful
The oppressed are divided and fearful
History says everywhere going on these
Already several hundred years have passed,
Yet unchanged on the old parallel lines
Only crying we need change, we need change.

I Am Conscious

I am oppressed,

suppressed,
enslaved,
robed and raped.

was thrashed,
insulted and killed.

but I am alive,
by my conscious,

I won't surrender,
and compromise

don't they know?
Who am I ?

I AM _conscious
and conscious never die____

Undead

Impalpable iniquity
Chaos,mind and soul
Blind in darkness
Internal fear
No will,no control
I cannot feel
The pain is dead
Moribundant
No life is left
Minatory shadow
Lingering within
Oppressed all emotion
A living zombie
I have become 
the undead

A Profusion of Great Heat

A profusion of great heat
   Rose up and oppressed my mind.
So few were signs of retreat
   It stifled an alarm seldom heard.

Philosophy says the mind
   And body are two different entities
And it’s not meant with scorn
   But Invincibility disagrees.

Google

Google my name
To find my aim 
Google my name 
To find the game
Google the dreams of an oppressed nation
Google the resistance of a fallen fashion 
Google the voice of  occupied passion 
Google the graves found in park
Google why Kashmir is dying in dark

Masquerade

The mask wears a smile for all to see
painted in brilliant red
Eyes that sparkle with glittered ease
that never a tear has shed

Cheeks adorned perfectly in rosy hue
youthfulness expressed
Absent are frowns and wrinkles seen
in faces that live oppressed

The Love of "fall"

F alling in love with Winter; she’s ice cold dressed in snow white lace 
A ll the while dating Summer, who’s still sizzling hot
L ove affairs bruised with revengeful reds, oppressed oranges, and yelling yellows
L eaving Summer with a promise to one day rekindle their love

Mind and I

Mind and I
Twins in one body

Does the mind live in me?
or
Do I live in the mind?
complicated to segregate this

The mind is the chief commander of life,
commands me to follow the rules by this

I am subjected,
oppressed and defeated...

I Asked My Grandfather

I asked my grandfather
why human beings drink
and get lost in drunkenness
I tell you my dear
those who get drank
were created by a drunken deity
those who do not,  came on earth
by a teetotaler creator-goddess
oppressed in a male-dominated
world of oppressing spirits

Freedom of Speech

In a land that slaughters babies
where critique gets you arrested
old ladies will complain
when you exercise it
white people it seems
have more rights than
the oppressed
many dead
they wear orange hats
Cinderella fears them
these old witches
brewing racism and hate

Mr Dee

Mr. Dee, the down and out, downcast, downhearted cat
broody, moody, gloomy and in no way fat
dejected, rejected, chased off by some
oppressed, depressed, droopy and rather glum
could not trust people after he was thrown away
buoying him up now is my brilliant cat-loving Aunt Fay.

Tired Not Retired

Tired Not Retired(Balassi Stanza)

Though I have not retired
I came home from~riot tired
heart heavy for the oppressed poor.
Weeping,sorrow must end
We have to stop this trend
Wipe corruption from our floor.
Kids dying of hunger
Youths strike with full anger
No choice,but to open~door.

Broken By Love

I am one
When I am broken by love
And close the door
Against life.

I am many
When I behold the oppressed
And deny the hope
For change.

I am few
When I swim against the current
And fight the undertow
Of censure.

I am all
When I am broken by love
And open my heart
To God.
