For Sale
— POEM by
Ahmed Naeem
___________
All those pleasant dreams of life;
That are gasping out of my reach.
To make them come true;
If I could pawn;
My willy for a few days.
Then,
It ought not be counted as my sin.
….
(Translated from URDU by Bush Ahmed)

Ahmed Naeem
Ahmed Naeem was born as Naeem Akhtar on December 6, 1986 (a Sun eclipsed day) in Malegaon, Nashik District, Maharashtra state, India. He could not get high education. But, he went up to grade 7 and then he had to leave his education due to his economic miseries due to his family’s poor financial conditions so that he could earn some pennies to enhance their income, working as a land tenant. Now, he works as a weaver on power loom. Who knows best weaving the poems and stories than a weaver? He is a poet and short-story writer of modern existentialism. He is also a blogger of “Mautdotcommalegaon.blogpost.com”, where he presents tabooed literature. However, he has vigorous attachment with literature. And, his style has a rebellious tone, introspection and solipsism.
