Why Should You Know Me? Poem by Aftab Alam

Why Should You Know Me?

Rating: 5.0


One day all have to depart,
Away from the human eyes,
Although I'll not be here,
My presence will be felt,
History will never have guts to pelt,
For me, History will not be mystery,
No lies can ever be put on me,
History is within me, tied with the belt,
I am a king, I am a sage,
I am poorer among the poor,

My hut keeps unlocked door

I am present, I am past,
Paving path for the last,
I am the chaos of graveyard,
I am a silence dreamer,
I have the phantom walk,
I have the wisdom talk,
I am away from the religion,
I will be found in all season,

I am a rain drop for the reason,

I will fly,
I will touch the sky,
I will bring the sun,
And keep it at your window,
I am your hope,
I am no one's shy,
I am joy,

I keep profundity of sky,

I am against the innocent killing,
I have my peculiar feeling,
I hate the mask,
I have a task,
I am not quixotic,
I am not automatic,
I have responsibility,
I have the ability,
I always share,
I am calm breeze,
I am hot air,

I will be air for your lungs to breathe
You have to wreathe,
You have to wreathe,
I will be the dream of millions eyes,
I will be among the sages and wise,

Ah! Toothless mystery can't chew me,
I am the story to kids by the granny,
I am sweeter than the honey,
I am underestimated,
I have been frustrated,
I am known for my haughtiness,
I am known by my loveliness,

I am a heavenly bird to sing in the morning,

I am not understood
I've been blamed for cryptic

I am not mystery
I m history,
I am a dream,
I am the voice of innocent,
I am against the slavery,
I am against the poverty,

I am for the liberty,
I am the history,
I will rest in peace,
I will lose everything,
Except the love that you keep in your heart,
Because you know, I'm not flirt
I am always alert,
I am the wheel of the time,

In total you have presented the best possible spectrum of yourself, I assume. Aftabji, these traits must be making you a very dear person among your close friends and relatives. A fine poem that deserves a 10 out of 10.
