Again They Come Xliii Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Again They Come Xliii



Robed royals for a morsel buy
Again they come, after a year's drought
Houbara Bustard, those bastards -
The cost of busting a peade on file
Presented, trayed, and hunt in the desert.
Why don't you fly, to another planet
None the less, they may buy a travel there
Sam's friends, sanctuary of exiles,
Holy servants, protectors of shrines.

-Houbara Bustard hunting season 2013-14. Seventeen royals from Gulf granted permits in Baluchistan Pakistan.
