Capital Punishment
by Aamir Aziz

Simple it seems but complex it is

Collection of inspired follies for some, a challenge for others

A story without a title, a journey without destination

A prolonged joke for some, a momentary pause for others

Starts as a friend and deceives as a foe

A bed of roses for some, an unending marathon for others

A frank deceiver, a bargainer who always won

A loose structure incident for some, a nightmare for others

Yesterday, today, tomorrow and so on…………..

A meaningful nonsense for some, a tense snare for others

Philosophers’ ever green question and historians’ foster child

An equivocal notion for some, a plausible interlude for others

Real it seams but dramatic it is

A mirage in the desert for some, a concrete impression for others

A meaningless enigma, a purposeless clamour, understood by none

Still…an optimistic wait for some, a detestable weight for others
