If It Was Me

I wouldn’t be rude to anyone the way others are, thinking that being rude can control someone. I wouldn’t lie to anyone like those who defend themselves using false phrases. I wouldn’t cheat anyone the way some friends—or even love—can. I wouldn’t discriminate between urban and rural lives. I wouldn’t be disrespectful or misbehave, especially when someone trusts me enough to recommend me—for a workspace or elsewhere. I wouldn’t offend others like different generations often do. I wouldn’t bring self-discrimination into my life. I wouldn’t body-shame myself or chase artificial ideals that don’t fit me. I wouldn’t try to be someone else or shape my life around someone else’s path. I want to live as who I truly am. I will never adopt attitudes that make my life unhealthy. I will never falsely accuse someone of being a bad secret-keeper. I will never place someone’s problem on another person who has nothing to do with it. I will never take advantage of someone’s innocence or skills to make...

Street Lives

Waited thousands of nights,

Standing in the horde without partaking or water,

I expected today I will get what I desired.

 

I left my home, my business, and all my activities,

I returned home not after hours but about in or after three days,

All were expected to be fed and fulfill their needs...

The tot cried in the bed and all were starving.

 

I waited under the hot sun,

My sweat falls like a waterfall to the ground,

The ground is wet like a river with many people's sorrows.

 

Today or tomorrow?

Neither not,

Sacrificed all the life- belongings and till this day standing for what we aimed for.

 

The queue gets longer and longer like an Anaconda!

Many tears were turned into a smile while people gathered.

I'm also the one among them,

We slept in the streets and sanitize in streets,

We ate what we got through the streets.

 

The nation couldn't bear the instability of ruling parties that existed in the country,

All gathered and asked for justice,

Seems like no answer!

All went in and lived their life for the day like how the hierarchy people did,

The reality was proclaimed in visual to the whole nation.

 

I still would say,

Yet we are together and

Yet we fight for what we require!

We aren't silent like anymore,

Till we chase the cawing crows!

 

This is not the termination,

It's just dawn!
