POETS CORNER
Why fight
I do not want to see the world red
Think for a while for the blood that is being shed
I cry with no identity of my own
For the millions on whom thy mercy is not being shown
Under the debris of their scattered homes
Their beloved died for revenges unknown
The woman who lost her only son
Under the blazing fire there are everlasting damages done
For whom will be the renovation and food supply
When everyone in the world will painfully die
For Iraq, Palestine and Kashmir people
Except for their loved ones dying in their own hands
When the world will have blood and dead bodies alone
You who shed the blood will be welcomed to the throne.
SYEDA MAHAM RAIZ
Peace
Peace peace peace,
Freedom and ease,
No war and no fight,
We are protecting human rights,
Blood is everywhere in sight,
We have to stop the fight,
There peace, here peace,
Oh God, bless us this great ease.
SHEEZA REHMAN
War
War is a fight,
That disturbs
Peace from our sight.
The relations between,
Are all gone,
Taking all joys along.
We can stop the war
Through love.
We can give love
Instead of hitting arrows.
We can share love,
Instead
of sorrows,
And can spend our lives happily.
MARIAM MUSTAFA, 11 years, Karachi.
Iraq War
Shedding blood to establish a peaceful government?
Propagating war for the welfare of suppressed civilians?
Breaking a war is to shatter the dream of peace
Children to be called orphans;
Its consequences affect millions
Poor Iraqi souls suffering to lethal death
Infants getting deaf with sky-rocketing missile invasions
Clouds of war hailing on innocent children
Is flowing red (blood) rivers,
The practice of civilized nations?
The antagonists are leading the world to destruction
Perhaps a war seems to be only solution.
FARAN MAHMOOD
Keeping a promise
Keeping a promise is a way
That will make your friends not go away
If you’ll keep your promise everyday
People will say to their children that’s the way
If you want everybody close to you
Keeping a promise is best to do.
NARGIS TAQI
The Moon
The moon shines with all its might
Like a laser light
The moon gleams through the sky
Like a silvery ball of light
The moon shines
Wines and dines away swallowing its light
Like a torch fading away its twilight daylight
SHAYAAN ABDULLAH
Endangered Species
Hunters track down with their dogs
Animals hiding behind logs
Get ready with the gun, one last quack
Too late! it’s gone, it won’t come back
Down any corner you hear a bang
A dirty man talking slang
A gun, animals beware!
He’s just longing to give you a scare!
Trout, rainbow stickleback too
Whales watch out for a ship or two
Polluting the sea, fish swim quick
If that catches you, it won’t unstick
Birds’ homes get cut down
Now they are serious, not acting the clown
They fly away, in search of a place
Macaws, toucans other birds with different face
This journey is tough and many wild birds die
The rest that lives, ask themselves why?
If people hunt us, how can we breed
We are the victims of their greed.
AMNA CHAUDHRY, 10 years, Karachi
Spring
How beautiful is the spring,
The flowers everywhere.
Butterflies like fairies;
Flying in the air.
Birds singing sweet songs;
Sitting on the branch.
And flowers waving side to side;
As they are showing there dance.
The sun shining brightly;
Lightening everything.
And make all this more beautiful;
In this spring.
The season of spring is a gift from God.
To spread happiness in the world;
And to make cheerful all.
SAMIA NAZ, 13 years
Truth
Let me search for the truth
To the top from the foot
Is it mysticism or rationality?
Is truth religion or scientific inquiry?
Truth lies all around here and there
Is scattered but it is where?
Truth comes from senses or meditation?
Is truth continuity or to have once won?
Is truth in preaching or be preached?
Has it logic or is random?
Let me run here and there?
Seek truth from mother nature
I ask can truth be reached?
It’s both the tree and the seed
Truth orders it to be searched
Once done what lies any interest
Is truth absolute or changeable?
Is it constant or flexible?
Is truth real or virtual?
Is this reality or a theatre?
