We Are In The Watch List Poem by Ehsan Ehsan

WE ARE IN THE WATCH LIST
Whatever we may think of ourselves
Whatever high slogans we may be raising
Howsoever sacrifices of life and property
We may be offering to maintain peace and order
Howsoever we may be rejecting others' notions
Whatever we may be claiming for ourselves
We have to see what others think of us
We have to listen what others speak of us
We have to convince others that we are right
Because we live in a human society
Because everything here is said and done
Into diplomatic and political terms
We have not to be true only
But we have to prove to that we are true
But how is it possible when we
Have closed our doors on others
Only for the flimsy reasons that our leaders
Are busy in playing dirty and idle games
Without having any feeling that we are
Always having the risk of being put
In the ‘Watch List' of our fellow beings
