An Arrow Of Hatred Poem by Tabish Raza

An Arrow Of Hatred

Rating: 4.5


A bird has been shot;
By an arrow of hatred,
Falling from the skies,
Like a kite with no strings attached!
Eager to taste dust;
So honest!
So modest!
So agile and chaste,
Still so futile!


The man who shot was also been shot,
By the arrow of hatred right into his eyes,
And now he shoots hearts with the same arrow!

The bird shall commence soon again,
Confinement will be renounced!
Astonishing the winds jeopardy,
She will fly!
Any arrow can't devastate hope!

All she needs is a soft hand,
Of love! Ferocious and audacious!
Of love! That doesn't results repentance!


Worthless! Not anymore,
Revival by nature,
Never betrays her comrades,
But still not gains acquittal,
Why to lament?
She can fly again so high.

A lovely piece of poetry well articulated and penned in poetic diction. Hatred is a very big emotional load carried by the one that hates. A nice piece written with insight to capture the conviction of the poet. Thanks for sharing and do keep it up. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

Hey! Nice piece. Hatred is like locking someone in prison and turn around to realise that person was you... Thanks.
