Two Dead Bodies

Two dead bodies were found on a river bank.

Police declared, 'There is only one criminal

as the method is same but for what reason'!

His love refused him,

so her brother was punished.

Some loved him

but he refused brutally.

Love is more cruel than hate.

Jail is more safe than outside

as here one is killed by farsighted law

and never by blind humanity.

Misbah Sheikh from The World of Poets on September 04, 2021:

I agree that love can be crueler than hatred at times. But I'm talking about human love here. That is undoubtedly a path that, when it hurts, leads to God.

Blessings to you!!
