Bulletproof Conscience Poem by akram saqib

Have you ever heard?
The men in the helm of affairs
Wept for the downtrodden

Either clean shaven or with beard
With long robe or dress of bears
Felt for the poverty ridden

Have you heard?
The men in power
Of the state and of the world

Ever this incident has occurred
They stopped their land rover
To see the trembling of ‘slaughtered bird’

Have you ever looked?
From the abyss to the sky
The powerful state or powerful man

Showed any mercy to the booked
Tried to lower the casualty
Spared the week from the can

It is the charisma of the wealth
And abetted by the modern science
Usurpers want to extend

Their boundaries and their wealth
With the bullet proof conscience
That might not for awakening tend
