To Hopelessness

By fzuberi • Jul 15th, 2008 • Category: Misc

There is a sudden rush of blood
in every second of my breath
sweat does not dry
as I run to help my brothers
bleeding and running in all directions
My words are a lot of splatter
probably red in their nature
heartfelt comments on the face
really a frustration in the end
Is my future in this world
or full of ruins is the […]



Our need - Unity

By fzuberi • Jun 16th, 2008 • Category: Misc

Sometimes its very depressing to see what is happening around us…being apprehensive of the future…
Different people do different things in order to escape the depression looming on us like a nightmare…
Some close their eyes and try to forget what is happening….some say that we have no say in what will happen and certainly not we […]



‘H’ for Honesty Or Hypocrisy

By fzuberi • Jun 14th, 2008 • Category: Politics

The biggest hypocrisy we thought, was when Nawaz froze the foreign currency accounts of all the people of Pakistan except for the dear and bold to him, but then we saw the ‘qarz utaro’ which was thought even bigger. But now all records have been broken: ‘The Judges Movement’
The political party in Power is the […]



My World…

By fzuberi • Jun 9th, 2008 • Category: Misc

Am I going to watch my people bleed?
In this place of duality
Where not the songs of joy are heard
Even in the wake of victory
Where the rulers of twisted reality
Are the real deal
Where even good deeds are sins
In the wake of senility
The war of terror
Has brought more terror on the streets
Making the future a mere tragedy
I […]



We ruled the world…

By fzuberi • Jun 1st, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

In 1947 Pakistan ceased to be an idea and became a reality, my ancestors died but they worked, my mothers and fathers bleed but they migrated to this land of the Pure.
In 1992; my people, my fellow countrymen saw a change a change that made them proud, a change that made them feel on top […]



Suicidal Mockery…

By fzuberi • May 19th, 2008 • Category: Misc

What is my life ’s standing?
in the suicidal mockery of my
fellow beings
where the sneeze of an animal
is of concern
but a mother kills her own children
to avoid a life of hunger
doesn’t raise a tear
where dacoits are in the councils
of law making
where everything is translated to mandate
where aims are twisted
into manipulated tools of using people
where faces change; […]



The Woman Who Knew Too Much…

By fzuberi • May 13th, 2008 • Category: Politics

In an interview with David Frost on Nov. 2, 2007, Benazir Bhutto was asked about the attempt to assassinate her in October.
Her response is well worth a second listen in the wake of her death.
After she received a letter from Mr. Musharraf warning her of the various terrorist organizations who were planning to target […]



She’s Broken Inside…

By fzuberi • May 12th, 2008 • Category: Misc

She couldn’t help but make
 
The same mistakes everyday
 
She lies broken;
 
Broken inside,
 
Reasons are?
 
Why? Is she not strong?
 
She was strong,
 
But where should she go?
 
There is;
 
No place to go,
 
It’s all because of your grace,
 
She wants to go back,
 
Go back home;
 
Did you go dry her eyes?
 
She’s broken inside;
 
Because she came to you,
 
The girl inside;
 
The girl that is you;
 
Me, everyone,
 
Lost-
 
Lost, […]



lets live!

By fzuberi • May 6th, 2008 • Category: Politics

A famous old dead playwright once wrote,”Comedy is nothing,but tragedy differed”.
Please dont mind my indifference;to the local news of judges (un)restored,or staying at their present creace,as i dont want to indulge in something i cannot change.
As for my comedy,i dont keep track of my jokes.
I,along with many other wise cracks often wonder,mostly with awe,that with […]



Let’s Live!

lets live life
like our last day
lets take from life
a little bit more-
lets treat every one
with a little more compromise

do what i did;
lets really make it happen
lets live life a little bit more
lets always be sincere
lets not with lies;compromise
do it all
make it happen
leave all gods;
to their origin,
lets show them
what we are capable of!
lets […]
