A Dream - shad Zaman
I have a
dream
a dream
not for name
a dream,
not for fame
But a
dream to be a loner.
a loner
who wants to get away from the crowd.
Not the
crowd of living beings
But the
crowd of cruelty, hatred, sadism, selfishness.
I want to
feel, to express, to say
I don’t
want to feel for others
but I want
to feel with others
I want to
be a sentient.
Why this
earth is getting phlegmatic
Why people
are getting eccentric
Is it that
difficult to be normal?
If a man
can live with animal for million years
Why can’t
he live with more of himself.
Why people
have become caustic
Why so
much of vandalism
Could you
tell me?
I have a
dream
a dream
not for name
a dream
not for fame
But a
dream to see this earth be lucid
But a
dream to see people with mirth.
People who
can feel, who can trust, who can love
Can you
find them?
I have a
dream
a dream
not for name
a dream
not for fame
But a
dream to share peace, to share happiness
To be able
to wipe off tears of others
To be able
to bring smile on their faces.
I am not a
savant, neither a priest
Nor I want
to be
I want to
be a loner;
A loner
who can feel, can express, who can say.
