The ones who critique us are now our fans

Author: Ali Jan Maqsood

Oh my little angel,

Do you remember people criticised you?

Not for what thou was expert in,

But for loving me!

Thou smiled and elaborated,

“I am him and he is me,

My elder brother is the one for me.”

They smirked and used unbeknownst words,

For me to tease you,

But,

Thy reaction was a smile,

Thou went with time,

Thy criticisers have become our lovers now,

Like thou did, they do,

Love us more than themselves,

Only thou is missing,

Thy presence would be the best,

The very moment,

For, the graveyard awaits you,

To make you meet with the dead soul,

And the angels around the graveyard!
