Imprisoned




Hear me! Heed me!
One more time!!
Hear my whispers, hear my rhymes
I fright!
For I sense my words would soon fade
If not uttered;
If not heard;
They shall perish forever,
And never shall wake

Artisted, I confess!
Crafted and beautified,
Indeed they are prettied
And mystified
But they are real,
They are sincere.

Prisoned in me for years.
They are chested
Amid agonizing noise
Silent; they are dusted
Hear them now
For they are fading
Free them!
For they are long awaiting
Take them
For I am weary of the keep.
In absolution,
I want to finally sleep
Hear me! Hear me!
One last time.

What a shame. ISI stands to the day the most powerful Intelligence Agency in the world, yet they were sleeping when it happened. Where do we stand today after a loss of 30000 lives on American war on terror, our economy is in teeters, our people and suffering and yet we are being cursed today? It’s just because of ...

Pakistan: surrounded by confusions and uncertainties

I am living outside Pakistan due to my job requirements. It's only the online resources that are keeping me updated about my country. Being a Pakistan,i I understand the context of so many events happening in Pakistan. I understand the context of ongoing instability in Northern regions of Pakistan, the situation in Baluchistan, the Afghanistan Factor, Political dimensions and their effects on general public. Despite having knowledge of the context in understanding the situation, I myself get confused sometime and it makes me think if I my evaluation of situation is wrong and whether the events are leading to a better Pakistan or worse. Having Said that, I wonder that what picture of Pakistan are being perceived by the people who are interested in international politics with concerns over so called war on terror; where no background information and context available to them. I am sure online resources are not helping Pakistan in depicting the situation even nearer to be satisfactory...
