CAN'T WE .... ! (POEM)

  * CAN'T WE .... ! * 

                       -AF  EKBAL. 

          

Me, not the master 

Nor the artisan  

Of my breathing, 

Yet can cherish the life 

With all it's worths 

And with feelings. 

What's or if anything in me- 

Is the blessings of the Almighty, 

So should I step right or left 

Front or behind 

With the vision crystal clear, 

Within the jurisdiction 

Bounded by the guide  

And the preacher. 

I can walk or stay 

I can run or play 

Can moan or fluently say- 

Given the opportunity 

But shall have to explain 

In long run before the sway !  

Can't I resist myself 

From the slavery of ego 

From the persuit of vile- 

Forgiving all- leap  

Towards the way 

Of forgiveness- 

On the way of piety and mercy  !
