A New Nation Poem by Akhtar Jawad

When corruption of the kings touched the apex,
son of a pallet gun who had arisen to the rank of a machine gun,
smashed customs and traditions of the nation
with the scissors polished by a paste of gunpowder.
He was weighed in a faulty balance of the time
and was described truthful and honest,
but he was not.
He claimed to rebuild a new nation
and fought a war
before that experts were of opinion that King's army
will penetrate its claw in the back of the enemy.
He himself claimed that his troops will arrive
at the capital of the neighbor enemy nation,
within twenty four hours.
But he could not.
Instead it removed the fears
from the hearts of the enemy,
a psychological victory for the enemy.
During his reign a fun-maker,
a jackal
a courtier of the king,
evolved as a new politician,
and he started a campaign against the king.
His campaign was a big success
and the king was dethroned.
The new king was sexually corrupt
he was drunk with wine and sunk in the women.
He also claimed that he will make a new nation.
He was always mislead and misguided by the jackal.
During his reign the eastern areas of the nation
arose for a mutiny that was countered with violence.
A large number of the people of that area
took shelter in the neighboring enemy nation.
It resulted in another war,
the drunk and sunk king had to quit,
but no doubt in it that he made a new nation!
As the eastern areas were lost
as an independent and sovereign state
and the remaining areas were then a new nation.
Now when another corrupt king
was balanced in the same faulty balance
and he was found untruthful and dishonest,
no doubt in it,
he was so.
But I see a monkey,
a player at the branches of sexy green trees,
who played with butterflies and crickets,
won the games of colors and gymnastics,
has emerged as a politician,
and is promising to build a new nation.
God save the nation and its people!
