Freedom was the humanism <br />In barbarity the pagan noble <br />Seized with nature mystified <br />Not adulterated with knowledge <br />Religion and philosophy <br />The hordes were occupying <br />Akin to man in nature still <br />Nomadic living with colors <br />From nature and songs <br />Longing and dancing <br />On tunes and percussion <br />Merriment is going to war <br />For the other tribe’s pasture <br />Greener and water wells <br />On horseback or camel <br />The beloved though knew <br />Love as stronger as hate <br />The dawn of civilization <br />In bewilderment sans sense <br />Now in fight against themselves <br />11/4/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tribal-ways-noble-savage/
