Distant Dream

Poetry-during-social-distancing

Is it a distant dream 
or just a vivid memory.

Desperate mind imprisoned inside

Days shift like meandering clouds
scattered thoughts coming around.

As the alluvion is carried on,
life seems narrower, long gone

life passes by in an endless loop 
Can we keep our hearts alive to an absolute end?

Very few Pakistani poets possessed socialist thought, Fayez Ahmed Fayez was being one of them. He is also regarded as one of the pioneers of the progressive literary movement in the subcontinent. He is not only a well-known  Marxist poet, but was also a journalist, philosopher, filmmaker, and translator. At the same time, he is equally known as a true revolutionary.
