The Best Shroud For You Poem by Akhtar Jawad

You have managed to escape from a nuclear war,
still I cannot congratulate you!
You have no more place to store radioactive water,
so you are going to pollute the sea in the year 2022.
Don't you know it's sea we are looking at?
With the hope that it will fulfill our food requirements in future.
Don't believe in a future after that year?
But I believe and I foresee,
what after the year 2022,
foresee it from my old eyes,
think a bit like an old man,
and regret that you cannot rewind the time.
What can you do?
Pack yourself in a polyethylene bag
that never decomposes
and go to your graves.
