I always tried to look within, <br />Within my hidden universe, <br />I love to read holy verse, <br />That gives me- energy, <br />To my naughty mind, <br /> <br />Why should some one call me an Angel? <br />Where as I am superior to them, <br />I am HUMAN, <br />And not He MAN, <br /> <br />I am acting like an human, <br />Why some one should identify me- <br />By my caste, creed, race and religion, <br />I am Indian, <br />I am Muslim, <br />What harm in this? <br /> <br />We drink water that earth provides us, <br />We breathe air that earth keeps it, <br />All are eating the yield from the earth, <br />Tell me who eats from the heaven? <br /> <br />Days are gone- for manna and salva, <br />That Jews they claim- <br /> <br />We all are equal- The offspring of Adam, <br /> <br />Ya, its fact, there was Cane- The criminal, <br />Then- there was Abel- The sober and sublime, <br /> <br />My purpose to write this - - <br />Why we are becoming Cane? <br />Why not Abel? <br /> <br />Ah! I know- fear to be killed, <br />Lo! Abels are killed by the Canes,<br /><br />Aftab Alam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stop-seeing-brutality-resist/
