THE COMMONER
- AMEENA NOUSEEN
A touch of feather must be
Never compared to an ocean of bliss;
Leaving the other world blithering
And later regretting what you miss.
When on an edge of life,
With either sides of death
He worries about his life,
Visualising the trapping net.
He is ready to blip
Or readily make a sin,
Just for his mere mortal life
And what else to win?
Irrespective of the guilt he will face,
In case he survives
Only with the sin as a support
That forever- guilt that arrives.
Why be so gay?
For the glee we never pay.
Shirking all the real world
And choosing the wrong way.
Live like a divine bird
Flying with all joy and glee,
But from an egg to be winged,
Struggle to be free…
