In The Name Of Dignity Poem by Afzal Shauq

In The Name Of Dignity



Small the issue
by God...

In appearance
human beings
But by nature
brutal animals

Not keeping our heads
like the ancient savages
with enemy's skull cups
we drink their blood

In appearance human beings But by nature brutal animals It is a sad reality to find human like beasts in the world of God. Again a simple and very symbolic poem.

A wonderful piece with apt imagery and symbolism. 'In appearance human beings But by nature brutal animals' The real nature of human beings coming out in the name of various seemingly differences created by man...Winnie
