The Irony ✨

Yearning For Change ✨

As juvenile hearts are murdered in cold blood,
As massacred innocence covers every inch of the underlying mud,
As the preachers of brutality plucked all the precious floral buds,

My heart yearns for change,

As chaste, naïve adolescents are tainted,
As their fragile bodies are bought and rated,
As their soul are manipulated, contaminated, intoxicated,
My heart yearns for change,

As people are kept illiterate in order to preserve their ignorance,
As awareness and wakefulness can cause major hindrance,
Because corruption is the only product at their end of deliverance,
My heart yearns for change,

As in every inch of the street, a different sect resides,
As the conflicting opinions of the ministers of the same religion divides,
As during the month of Muharram, it's not safe to go outside,
My heart yearns for change,

As families leave for a few minutes, for merely a stroll,
But return in shreds, devoid of souls,

As in a split second green lands turn into dust bowls,
My heart yearns for change,

As for the sins of men, sacrificed are the little girls and their big futures,

Because in the form of landlords and judges exist disguised vultures,

And this crime conveys the true essence of the chaotic culture,

My heart yearns for change,

As people die of starvation, new roads are being paved,
As people expire due to filthy water, new train stations are being made,
As help is commercialized, but nobody actually comes to aid,
My heart yearns for change,

As our fellowmen are begging for support and refuge,

As they drown in the metallic deluge,

We stay silent to all the crimes because our debts to their enemies are huge,

My heart yearns for change,

As the rich crimes are abated by distractions and silently buried,

As children die because they were too many and malnourished,

As the flame of the flickering candle is diminished,

My heart yearns for change.

-A/N first of all, I'm sorry that it's too long. I just wanted to cover all the horrible things I have seen around happening.

First is the Peshawar attack that happened in an army public school. Basically terrorist took little children as hostages, 132 children died, and 9 female staff too. The whole nation mourns till today.

Then a lot of children were being kidnapped and abused in the past few months. Zainab case is very famous, she was around 9, who was raped, murdered and her body was dumped in a dumpster. A lot of people them came forth to talk about what happened to them and their children.

Then in some areas, some rich people don't let their servants or fellow men get proper education. In order to keep them under chains they are kept ignorant.

Then I've mentioned about the consistent bomb blasts that took place.

The next mentioned crime is called 'Vani'. If a man commits a crime, in compensation the tribe takes their youngest girl and gets her married to the man of the victim family. Girls are no older than 15.

Then our corrupt politicians gave means of transportation to all the people when all they needed was food, shelter and security.

Then I've mentioned about how a lot of people in the world are facing so many problems but we really can't help them because we're either afraid of their enemies or because we owe them something.

Oh and I forgot, Muharram is a sacred month but due to so many sectarian groups, a lot of violence and riots take place. It's so sad because the religion is the same, but people have different opinions about certain matters and massively lack tolerance.

I'm very proud of this poem and for the first time ever, I felt like I wrote like an 18 year old haha.

I hope you like,
