Dreams Are Not Like That.... Poem by Afzal Shauq

Dreams Are Not Like That....

Rating: 5.0


Everyone joyful
full of strength
quenching their thirst
with blood of others

Each man prancing
Looking like a wolf
Barking over the dumped
bloody organs of human bodies

As I remember...
The man eaters were glaring
with dangerous eyes
and critical smiles,

I awoke sweating
before they hunted me
Was this a dream
or had the war was started...?
