Pitiable Plight, a poem by Asif Sultan Matta
Pitiable Plight!
08-01-2018
The spider of ailment squatted on his head
Forthwith, did it weave its grey ugly web
round his poor being, gone is his wellbeing
Cooped and disabled, his vigor away fleeing
Caged in a corner in his dull room
His face misery reflects, and an abject gloom
Stifled wrath his heart nourishes within
For the flagrant apathy in his kith and kin
Baited does he lay like a fish apalled
Ceased his tremor, awaiting for the haul.
