Potential

Most people show a picture-perfect life 

but in reality nothing can be picture-perfect!

The country's standard of living has increased 

and at the same time people's desire 

for material things and extravaganza 

Somehow, people are not happy with simple life.

If one side of the coin is simplicity

then the other side is self-restriction.

We have forgotten that in picture 

everything looks good

everyone looks happy

but in reality people might be dealing with

illness and emptiness. 

 

My little world..though rough 

was simple and full of imaginations

We understood that whatever we desire

may not be fulfilled always

Thus, we learnt the value of rejection. 

 

It pains me that

Farooq's soul will be corrupted 

or may be it is already corrupted by 

his near ones and he is missing the chance

to hold my hand and to reach his full potential...

 

Once I told him to hold my hand 

and fly high..But I do not see

that is happening anytime soon. 

It is also sad, that his daughter's fate 

is going to be sealed by some conservatives 

who do not value liberty, individuality, 

honesty, courage, and freedom.
