Stifle, <br />Smother a yawn. <br />Garrote, <br />A walk in the lawn <br />Smother the curiosity. <br />Conceal and suppress. <br />Tie the hock. <br />Near the flank. <br />Shorten the leash. <br />To the shank. <br />Dampen, muffle. <br />The lead pup eager. <br />Put on provision meager. <br />Keep in the shade. <br />Or better; call up the blade. <br />Hush up, withhold. <br />Fence, ignore. <br />Throttle, bury, sink. <br />Suppress, reserve. <br />Concealment! ... Asphyxiate, drown? <br />Whose be that clown? <br />Silence is golden! <br />Restrain thy self! <br />Extinguish the flame. <br />Douse; snuff the blaze. <br />Faith doth suppress silence. <br />Tread not that pestilence. <br />Without faith you will climb. <br />Swathes sublime. <br />Les Miserables, kindle not the flame! <br />The globe flourishes…be tame! <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(May 23,2009)<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/draconian-designs-a-fascist-fracas/
