Collection of thoughts
When situation like these halt my way it feels like all the love I had for my place disappeared
But I don't even know if I have the right to comment on it
It's not one person who brings a nation down It's people it's societies it's decades, generations I
am old enough to express my opinion However not take action
Simply because of mere ' fear
What about fear
Death
What is death
Why are we scared of it
Death is bound to come
Now whether you are murdered or die naturally is the way God wrote for you to die
So why are scared for it
It's easy to sit in the comfort of my bed and write this down
I am not doing something revolutionary
Where has all the power my parents had when we would visit the passport office and I would
get my turn earlier than the ones waiting for hours
Where has that power gone
The salty is me only us upse to corse situation we are in
Power and money have all the wrong connotation in our head
Power= desire
Money = lust
Irony is we go everywhere with that tattoo of a Muslim over out head
Even though we are the ones with the least of knowledge about our religion
The Holy Book emphasizes on piety emphasizes on honesty
But what do we understand
How to beat a woman to death if she does not listen to you as her husband
For years we have been justifying taking behind the backs of people
That even religion asks one to correct someone's mistakes
My question to even myself is how can I correct someone by not informing them about their
mistake
Where does our Muslim tattoo go when we see little kids drugged on the roads on nights of Eid
Which we all know will not end in their hands
Where does this tattoo go when we see the woman working so hard at our school 's canteen to
make ends meet being underpaid
Despite the fact we just came out of a pak studies lesson
Despite the fact we just did a question on a Hadith
However we as a nation are obsessed with numericals number numbers numbers
Ne forget human heart humanity does not run on numbers but emotions
Ps. I would plead to you to give our national anthem one listen it will clearly show how the stars
our ancestors envisioned for us to grab and conquer day by day are getting more distant
Maybe because they are scared we will take their shine away just like we took the shine away of
our very own home
It pleads crys
But what can we do
Our ears are only open to the the sound of freshly printed notes
Also congrats we are officially one of the most democratic counties to exist the case that was
illegal till noon is now legal
Wonders that happen in Pakistan
Just a glimpse
