The Next Thing Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The Next Thing



Thus am placed to the love adjacent
Desires fulfilled, wishes come true
Inventiveness accomplished,
Buried the past,
Lo! The bigger change,
‘We' have become like ‘Them';
With blessedness visited, in dreams
Succor. Future became visible
Gurus' prophesies have ‘proved'.
Hale, O hale, salute the long arm,
Unto yourself in the mirror,
Walk out and exhale, -candored amnesia.
What next?
I wrote on the air
With my right finger and with my left
Hand, on my chest.
What next if everything is done,
What next if I become like you?
