Middle Class!

By || Mahfooz Ahmad Bakshi

Compare my life with ostrich, shall I

I have wings but I can't fly

Burdens on my wings, 

Away from freedom like things 

Whoever sees me says, alas!

They say, I belong to middle class

Responsibilities of my family 

Took my happiness away, unfairly!

Have I buried my contentment under the grass

They say I belong to middle class 

I never saw hell, I saw the life

Tensions of mine, nobody could wipe

Explaining something, may be relatable to thee

On me baren land, there is no tree

Hopes of mine are more than one or three

First to see the ray of light 

For which I must fight

Fight fight till I see the light

Against the disease, which has no cure

Why does I suffer even I'm still immature?

Whatever I'm going throw, let it be

One day I will be free!

Have I buried my contentment under the grass!

They say I belong to middle class.
