Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari - Human Factor

I could be rich like a king
but I prefer to live poor

o’ come on Kamran!
you all the time use defenses
to calm the agony
of your unwanted existence

look honey!
there is kid
playing with a ball
in the park
beside the lake
and there is another
fishing at the lake
same gorgeous dawn
might be the one fishing
knows better
how to play the ball
but he is destined
to kill fishes
merely to fill the aching stomach
of his starving siblings

we are predestined
to live a life
we love to live
even we are living in misery
we are blessed with the skills
to change our fate
but are restrained
by the human factor
