A Scene

Mutaal Mooquin November 24, 2007

Tags: Pakistan , November 2007 , emergency

Dogs in a frenzy barking
Packs of wolves watching
Master hurriedly arriving
To unleash the hounds

The sheep are mute
All subdued
Shepherd not in view
Licking the previous wounds

The horse without the rider
Baby without the mother
Not one chasing the other
Sitting silently - over the ruins
