Written Words

by Rizwan Ahmed Memon

The words 
On the paper

Are not mere

Words.

In them is a history,

A story of love,

And a chapter of sadness.

The words on the paper

Are not just words.

Voices of silent people

You will hear

When you read

The words on the paper.

You will know

The oppressor

And the innocent

The words on the paper

Are not mere words.

The Waves of the ocean--

 And the sand of the desert

You will feel

If you read,

The words on the paper.

 Lies and realities

Will surprise you

If you go through

The words on the paper.

The words
On the paper

Are not mere

Words.

In them is a history,

A story of love,

And a chapter of sadness.

The words on the paper

Are not just words.
