Doomed Traveler Poem by Afzal Shauq

Doomed Traveler



Its good
I have no wings
otherwise
I would be doomed...


Flying so high
to reach the moon…
My wings scorched
by the radiate sun

Because I
being human
Like others have
the nature of greed.

'Flying so high to reach the moon… My wings scorched by the radiate sun'.. i like that. it makes me want to be on the moon. makes me want to be able to fly. to be beyond earth and all its flaws. to feel the sun.
