Who Am I? Poem by kafil uddin raihan.

Who Am I?

Rating: 5.0


Inhaling smoky lead,
Carbonated old lung,
Alcohol burnt liver,
Rotten kidneys cry,
Faded blood in vessels,
My heart is poisoned,
I am dying like a cigar,
Ashes in my breaths,
This me is not me,
This is someone else,
I was evergreen,
But this one is gray,
Who am I?
A civilized new generation,
Or a pile of decomposed flesh,
Contaminating myself,
Contaminating my world,
Contaminating my future,
Who am I?

A thoughtful poem and a strong message. You are displaying the so- to -speak signs of civilization and modernity, whereas in reality they are signs of stupidity and unconsciousness...well-penned.10

Hi Kafil, Good to see you're still writing and asking questions of yourself and others. This is a dark write, feels like you're going through a lot of self analysis. Cheers, Frank
