A Stupid Poem Poem by Usman Hanif

Go grey grow grey
lay dead where the dead lay
dead led away to decay
beware of the vultures
pursuing your trail

dark day marked grey
enjoy the rust of autumn hay

say say what comes, say
give dying words their own way

Play play get ready to pay
the price of your lost game

Mind you play what you say
the game of life where you pay
where the only end lies beyond your bay
where, whether you save or slay,
at the end, you'd be the one to stay,
in the house of sin you say
with no window, no gate...
