Oh! We’re burning, don’t you see, Save yourself first and then me. U know i’ve been through a lot, Even when i knew the plot. To all the things i overlook, I know the chances that i took. Now there’s a fire that i’m in, But why i think about my kin? How will they feel when we depart? I’m saying all of this by my heart. I love you Mom, i love you Dad, Brothers and sisters, i love so bad. In the thirst of petrol i had, Oh my God, things went so bad. If there’s somebody, save me please, Cuz this fire have us on knees. I know you can afford your desire, Poverty got me caught in the fire. You know i’m not alone in here, You keep staring us standing there. Oh! The flames, them’ all combined, Burning us and they got us blind. For all our families we’re leaving, Will have nothing to do but grieving. Mothers will scream, let me tell, As their sons are burning in hell. But the temprature of blazes, As the time goes, it just raises. In the end, everything’s gone, In the fire, all of us drawn. Our shrieks won’t help us anymore, People dead keep falling on floor. Oh! We’re burning, don’t you see, Save yourself first and then me—— Poem By: Zohaib Hassan Q47
