Lost in a Vague World
By Mohammad Zaki Zaki
I am thinking to change everything
For a better life
A huge change
My feelings are lost
in ash
Surrounded by darkness
Even looking at the clear sky
I feel lost
in a bleak environment
I’m working to view things colorfully
though the world doesn’t have its joy
Life is no longer the same
I tell myself to smile
Emotions now are not as they must be
I look at the sky to alter them
I greet the morning weather
Awaken to refresh my mind
Experience a new day
I love the morning breeze
Walking on the sweet grass
I notice its quiet beauty
I wish for amazement
To be satisfied by my words
I seek out small joys
I am just lost
This confusing earth
doesn’t offer me the kindness
it showed in the past
I struggle to be calm
To unlock the closed door of dreams
It will not open
and I will never forget
when the sky of Kabul was unblemished
