Poem#12 - New Generation

they say we've changed
changed to get better
from necessity
to luxury

but what exactly
did we get better in?
the world has got so fake, that we're dependent
even on the smallest of things

our elders say "in our days,
we used to plough our fields ourselves"
they look at us with pity, cramped in flats
after we come groaning after a 2 hour walk

sanitation and medication has got better
we just get stuck
to the better medicine,
and give a better life to the pharmaceuticals

flus and poxes
that haunted the world
have come back again,
to make a point

that we just get worse
when trying to make life easier
cause when we live easy,
we become as soft and weak like a marshmallow

not being able
to resist anything
and bring back
the ghosts of the world

then when the kids were born with good health
just being vulnerable to the filth outside
but now kids are born with specs,
already weak, an easy prey for the epidemics

if we really were better, the ones who could go to the extreme
we could call ourselves The Generation X
but rather now I guess,
we should be called The Generation All-Specs

Poem#11 - Ramadan Kareem!

its the month of prayer
in which, they stay in silence
they begin to pray, by saying "Bismillah Al Rahman Al Rahim.."
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

the month begins
by the mark of the Moon
the heavenly body that glows beautifully
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

wherever they're
they stay steadfast for prayer
they pray, whether together or lonely
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

through out the day
they maybe weak or silently pray
but in their faces, their eyes gleam
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

through this fast,
they learn a lot
discipline, obedience, humility
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!

they fast with zeal
for half the day
we stand with you, for it, to holily keep
let us all say, Ramadan Kareem!
