I Am Dead Poem by Aftab Alam

I Am Dead

Rating: 5.0


I am worried and have commotion
Why people die with starvation?

Missionaries, all preach
They preach what is a faith
Decorate and erect to worship
Mosque, Church, Temple and many…
Donate for fame that turn to fire
These are the dogma of faith,
Faith not by dress but by grace.
Faith not a cream to put on the face.
True faith is the charity unto human kind
All books say, but we say nay,
Turned aside.
Making hell to this earth
Desire for paradise is a fake desire
Blinded we are with our vision
I hope and assume, it need revision
How to be in a society
And what a Book is for
‘Tween earth and heaven there is void,
Wide...

No religion can flourish on death bed
No law can bind the people to abide.
What faith if belly is dry
What faith if ignored the cry
Death by starvation is ignorance.
‘Tis duty of neighbour,
The nation and nations
If someone dies with starvation,
I am dead...

I am worried and have commotion
Why people die with starvation?

Deep within the soul can be found peace if you allow it to enter by rising above the every day happenings
