On Hepatitis Day..approaching! <br /> <br />There he is, a very sick man. <br />Taut his face and a darkish tan. <br />Life for him, now a staple ban. <br />left not a friend nor a fan. <br /> <br />Wonder how others see him out. <br />Doubles he up in a coughing bout. <br />Think some, he's a filthy lout. <br />Punks skip by, give him a shout. <br /> <br />Cool and dig on the party scene. <br />Blonds and brunettes vied to lean. <br />Now he is ever hardly seen. <br />An no one else is either keen. <br /> <br />Seldom up an down the street. <br />Then, too often, he feels the heat. <br />Barely walks an drags his feet. <br />Eschewed even by a cop on beat. <br /> <br />Cringes he often clasps his hands. <br />Hair now thinned to wiry strands. <br />Stands he far at mounting stands. <br />Lonely soul from unknown lands. <br /> <br />Frail an done, lost and Gaunt. <br />Life's now just a slippery Slant. <br />No more welcome at his haunt. <br />He has no need and no want. <br /> <br />Life for him is a steady bad day. <br />Those he knew, turn, shy away. <br />Pitiable man that has no sway. <br />Caught up nature an yelled a stay! <br /> <br />Who'll pick up his dejected life? <br />Who's got the time for this rife? <br />A broken soul an body in strife. <br />Brooding days an toying a knife. <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(May 14,2009)<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-life-went-wrong-the-denial-of-life/
