I wish to be earthen lamp <br /> <br />The mud, <br />We can make, <br />Balls for catapult, <br />To kill birds, <br />To break heads <br />To play with, <br /> <br />The mud, <br />We can make, <br />Pitchers, <br />To store water, <br />To drink, <br /> <br />The mud, <br />We can make, <br />Earthen lamps, <br />To light, <br />In a dark room, <br /> <br />The mud, <br />We can make many things, <br />For use, <br /> <br />The mud, <br />We are the mud, <br />We can be molded, <br />Above all, <br /> <br />I wish to be molded, <br />To an earthen lamp, <br />In the world of darkness <br /> <br /> <br />©2014 Aftab Alam Khursheed.
