Modern Afghanistan


         In midst of busy bazaar, stands a poor girl.
         Wandering. Her eyes seeking attention.
         Weary and scared. Why was she in a whirl?
         But can say as she wrapped her in starvation.

            Her hairs soaked in sand scattered all around.
            Her cheeks stained. Dust has already dried tears.
            Her dress worn for weeks left me to astound.
            If she smiles, heaven would fall down in fears .

         Reporter comes in, talking of worse state.
         His big camera eyes scared little kid.
         Once done, with no pity leaves her to her fate.
         In midst of busy bazaar, stands a poor kid.

            Eyes stare, left by, her tears clear dust on cheeks.
            To you I beg mercy for kids and weaks.

Its a extension of my feelings. I wrote in free verse however abab rhyme. Dont know if I should submit separately as another deviation. Should I ?


Found Guilty


Now that I spoken.
Conscious is already awake.
Looking in my eyes mirrors have spoken.
I always wonder if I could participate.


Pity of mine just so real in unreal.
All I did hasn't done much to them.
I am not relaxed in this deal.
As I ask you to favour them.


But I keep cash burning.
As I am loading my body with calories.
Hungry children are waiting.
And I cry here watching galleries.


Somehow I shed my precious tear.
Now I want to forget pain caused.
Just like on and off, I leave them to bear.
I am guilty of pain that I have caused.


I am sorry but this does'nt change the fact.
Poor children are still staring with hopes.

A narrative sonnet for first time...however I have involved narrator in the poem itself. something particular to trigger is its quite simple its looking in single situation and making political & social meaning out of it. In short defines current situation of afghanistan and its progress. I was about to write i hope you enjoy but i say i hope you feel it deep.

Photo is not completely picturizing situation of poem but pretty close. Girl in poem is around age of 9. PHOTO WAS TAKEN FROM INTERNET AND I DOUBT IF ITS ALLOWED LET ME KNOW IF NOT.

Also I encourage reader to participate in some kind of funds to help poor children in the world.

Thank you for reading and critics are welcome.
