At The Lower End Of Life Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

a thought so inconvenient
a name so familiar
a soul so repellent
a life so obnoxious

bring me to life again
o’ my innocent lower case human
what have you done to yourself?
you were the best ever creation of Almighty
might be you still are
but what have you done to yourself?

bring me your head
and let me check your sick brain
let me elicit the first rank symptoms
let me test your abstract thinking
alas! what have you done to yourself?

sitting in the abyss of oblivion
at the lower end of life
I am calling your name o’ man!
make me alive again
reincarnate me from tomb of the damned
live once again like Muhammad and Moses
die once more like Jesus Christ
then rise yet again from the vacuum of ignorance
and then evaporate yourself into the mist of eternity
