where is this country going

Where is this country going? and then Rozaiba you tell me that I complain about everything all the time! :-p

there are nay-sayers
and those who acknowledged not
the creation – partition or divide
secretly they hoped
the runaway child will return

water flowed
under the kotri-keamari bridges
clouds came and dictators went
seasons chased each other

the believers somewhere
bartered their beliefs
and dreams for paisas
they joined the melee
today gained over tomorrow

quaid went, liaquat too
then a fuzzy succession
sherwanis, suits, uniforms
the nation took one step forward
and one back -- equilibrium!
do not let pc-s and cell phones
delude us -- chimera!

it was not that bomb
hope it is never used
it was those who occupied us
they made sure we stay put

so complain all you want
it is not going anywhere
it is not going anywhere
dear vinny
sadly
