WHERE DO I STAND?

[email protected] (Mafazah Sharafuddin)
February 19, 2016

As a world implores,
and another lends a hand.
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand?

In the midst of silent war,
I'm a simpleton indeed.
What is just one person,
when they kill in creeds?

Surrounded by bloodshed,
that I cannot understand.
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand?

An illusion of salvation
and a reality of pain.
The world now gone,
won't ever be the same again!

A person raises his voice,
gets the anti-nationalist brand!
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand?

The height of discrimination,
that leaves mouths agape!
Rendering them to think
that suicide's the only escape.

If those who kill are
really patriots to their land,
I begin to really wonder,
where do I stand...?

There was cat with a ball
He said “I got it when one boy fell”
Then the boy came and he told,
“I got it when I attained fame!”
Then the cat said, “it’s behind a wall!”
There was a cat who is fat,
He said, “it happened when 
I sat on a mat
Then his owner cried 
He said, “because his fish died 
So I like to be fat.”
There was a cat on a pan 
He was wearing a can
He said, “I want to die!”
Then another cat told,
“You are telling lie, right?”
So he told, “Alright but 
I want to sleep on the pan!”

I looked around me
As I was walking in my own shoes.

Right & left
Front & back, up & down
But none is around...

Just opened the windows
And took a little peep,
As if a lover take a furtive look into his Lover's casement ajar;
I found none. 

Then I opened my front door...
Looked right & left
And rushed to the main gate,
If I could see anyone behind the wall;
Still I did see none.

Alas!, 
I saw broken glazed glasses-  
That are being scattered everywhere
On the ground...

Also, I looked at withered leaves 
That are falling down & rolling away.
I eyed on rapidly falling stars, 
But I became helpless to know, 
Where they fell on. 

I could see the giant ship sailing, 
In the mid of deep surging Ocean,
Lost their navigation 
To the 'invisible storm';
The passengers are crying-
Loudly & helplessly,
But the captain sent SOS...!!! 

I went hurriedly & sat on the chair-
Deeply contemplating like a oblivious Saint;
And ridiculously conjectured:

"WORLD IS TEMPORARILY UNDER MAINTENANCE?!"
