Sober – Delhi Poetry Slam

Sober

By Adeeba Shaheen


He looked down to this nasty world
Which He named as 'Earth'.
He knew He never made it this way,
It was us who started to betray.

His glory lights up the world, I thought,
But in this world
All those things were found;
Wars were fought.

Walking at the edge of life, you'll see
The pain in the eyes of your family.
One by one-
As you get older;
And your heart fonder;
And your life shorter;
You'll look up for God and ask if this is over.

You'll wonder,
"Why was I not sober?"
