Humanity burnt at the Stake

DS
Dr. Shehzad Saleem
November 2017 · 1 min read

*

 

A child did a car crush

Then sped away in rush

 

Unbelievably callous

Satan must be jealous

 

Horrific and shameful

Disgusting and hateful

 

Accidents do take place

But what utter disgrace

 

The convoy moved on 

In a flash it was gone

 

Sympathy thou art fled

When that child bled

 

Blood tainted the floor

One life was no more

 

And life progressed on

Dusk turned into dawn

 

My soul remained awake

Humanity burnt at the stake

 


 

*.Written on the tragic killing of a young bystander by Mr. Nawaz Sharif's cavalcade on 11 Aug 2017
