Being an ordinary citizen of a nation <br />I always faced merciless damnation <br />By passing through this tortuous fashion <br />I don't think I will have salvation <br /> <br />I am surrounded by merciless hounds <br />Hence I lost my limits and bounds <br />Slogans are for me with shrieking sounds <br />But in the process I lost my grounds <br /> <br />A useless instrument in the useful crown <br />For vested interests I am up and down <br />They declare themselves white, I am brown <br />They are the white collar and respected gown <br /> <br />Against me they are united and one <br />I am in open field under scorching sun <br />They play with me, like play and fun <br />On my cost becomes done undone <br /> <br />Like me this is the public plight <br />Against themselves they have to fight <br />Due to my old age and oversight <br />I don't know justice is black or white <br /> <br />Col Muhammad Khalid Khan <br />Copyright 2014 Golden Glow <br /> <br />Note.
