Rising <br />From a tribal mindset <br />To a politically conscious society <br />With rights and responsibilities <br />Defined is how this community will grow. <br />Being ethnocentric is not in the interest of any one <br />Except for keeping an identity and feeling of togetherness <br />The collective aim here is to advance in minds and spirit <br />From the basic humanism <br />To a conscious achievement of well defined objectives <br />We shall neither be the battle fields <br />Nor cannon fodder for global <br />Regional and local designs <br />Waziristan is our motherland <br />And carries to us the holiness of any sacred land <br />We some times must respect the wisdom of elders <br />And also some distinguished persons <br />Who are giving exposure to our youth <br />Both at the national level and international level <br />Poverty lack of education unemployment <br />Gender discrimination are just a few problems. <br />This community has all the potential <br />Of being a modern <br />Viable <br />Deeply cultural <br />And seeking to play its role <br />In modern civilized world <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />26/4/2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/missing-script-not-in-verse/
