Venturing out into the field
Some vultures are
dancing naked
with gory beaks
and filthy claws
they look ignominious
care they not of anything
just dancing naked.
A promise of fresh meat
and a brimfull goblet of
Warm blood
is enough for keep dancing
naked
But whose flesh will it be
and whose blood will fill the
goblet to the brim?
is what they know not.
these vultures are naked
want blood and flesh
to quench their greed
for naught
these naked cowards
know naught but greed
But promisors are hidden
somewhere afar
Cos, swallows have appeared
in the horizon
they are tiny
they look vulnerable
but not coward they are
little swallows are gathering
in the horizon
to fight against
brutal vultures
dancing naked
In the field
Ersatz laughter of cowards
is tarnishing the air
but swallows are gathering
from everywhere
have they not fight
a feast for vultures
they become
goblet will overflow
with their pure blood
They are gathering
to fight;
fight against brutality
cowards are dancing naked
never can they defeat
little swallows!
They just dance
Naked!
I can safely assume this to be allegory? Yes? No? It is quite clever.
😅
Thank you SP for being here.
Blessings to you!
A powerful poem
Thank you.
Stay blessed!
You’re welcome
Just awesome, Saba! Such a brilliant and powerful allegory! This is a masterpiece.
You must be exaggerating, KK😅
Thank you so much for liking this piece where I put my heart out.
Stay blessed, KK.
Not at all, Saba! I mean every word. It has to be extraordinary, if you had put your heart out. Always welcome!
Thank you so much, KK.
It truly means a lot.
This allegorical poem bears reference to the prevailing situation in the country.
That’s the real beauty of allegory, Shahbaz that it holds many stories and every story is unique and complete. But yes, here I really put my heart out.
Of course, you have really put your heart out. This you do very often.
اللہ کرے ہو زورِ قلم اور زیادہ
Really look forward to reading more from your blog.
Shukriya Shahbaz.
Stay blessed!
Vultures here always dance naked. This, they have been doing for the past 75 years, feeding on the flesh and blood of 22 million swallows. How long will this continue?
Vultures can’t get rid of their despicable practice; dancing naked and feasting on innocents.
But, once swallows have gathered they can’t do anything.
We must realise this now, we have buried enough sons in our soil who were just used. We cannot let it continue.
May Allah have mercy upon our country, Ameen
I reciprocate your feelings, emotions and prayers for the victory of swallows over the blood-thirsty vultures. Ameen
Let’s pray for the swallows to succeed this time and stop the naked dance, once and for all.
Ameen!
Excellent write, Saba. ✨💖
Thank you, Flesch 😊🌺
So well penned…
Thank you, Anamika😊
My pleasure
These days humans have become like naked vultures – how we see one UJ ridiculous exposures in the name of fashion and seeking sinful fame – all getting viral. Sad.
Agreed!
The advancement in human lives has increased the ignorance manifolds.
