To Me Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

I am NOT in the mood
Of making anyone feel special
NOT doing any more favors
For free
Neither telling glittery lies
Dipped in the scents
Of chocolaty desires
Nor asked by the Health Minister
To write his Polio Day speech

I am writing this
To Me
For Me
By Me

Kamran!
You were NOT born for this
What you are into
Why you have compelled yourself
To live a life of a Commoner
When everybody here knows
That you are NOT
You were born for a purpose
Then
Why you are trying to lure
Minds of these ignorant people
With fancy and fake poetry
These people have lustful minds
No matter how much you do
They would ask for more

Kamran!
This is a humble advice
Please don’t argue
And just follow
What is being told to you
These men and women
Of today’s illusionary world
Can’t cook
The recipe
Of your lamenting mind
They can’t digest
Too much of Reality
They are not used to listen
Poignant symphony of lost love
Orchestrated by the divine fingers
Of none other than God Himself

So please
Stop barking now
In the deaf ears
Of juvenile minds,
Blemished hearts
And shallow souls
Instead
Observe the silence
For a while
As this is NOT the right time
To break the shocking news
So please
Say no more
