On Gallows Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan
On Gallows
We have all the vultures and hounds around
Thirsty eyes are in search of some human
Coffins are taken away from bodies on ground
But where ever we go we see but just none
Brothers are cutting the brothers roots to benefit
All world has taken all deadly and dreadful shapes
Humanity has become shallow to play with writ
Man is to eat man as in winter the closed eyes apes
Human soul and heart have gone just to stray dogs
Every one wants to eat up the flesh of his fellows
Every one in his interest produce sounds like frogs
Every one due to sins remain throughout on gallows
Col Muhammad Khalid Khan

My God this is hellish and morbid. It brings about visuals of war and the terrible things we ask of our men and women who serve; the horrifying things they go through, and the suffering of the innocents that get caught in the middle of it all. Your poem is vivid and uncompromising. Good poetry does that, it grabs and does not let go. This is a hard read but a good one. Thank you for sharing.
