Are You Just A Corrupted Heart Or A Haunted Soul? Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi
Are You Just A Corrupted Heart Or A Haunted Soul?
(dedicated to people who love and need justice)
selfish
greedy
malicious
chic
dandy
intellectuals
hunger
ambitious
never enough
in politic
in economy
in social life
the public figures
the high positions
powerful weapons
lie to you
betray you
deny you
steal from you
your money
your life
evil people
bad people
who left miseries
the lowlifes
darkest thoughts
dolls of the material
maladies
in human beings
in civilizations
destroyers
to dignity
to loyalty
killers
to innocence
to the truth
terrible
to society
to humanity
terrifying
to women
to children
creatures
with no mercy
no love
creatures
with no heart
no soul
catch them
jail them
no way out
pursue them
punish them
no compromise
corruptors are zombies
who ride luxury cars
who live in grand houses
corruptors are zombies
who wear starry clothes
who sail in diamond boats
do we have
enough power
to punch those zombies?
do we have
enough bravery
to defeat those zombies?
are you just a dark heart or a lost soul?
are you just a venomous heart or horrible soul?
are you just a corrupted heart or a haunted soul?
(inspired by all fights against corruption)
I think you mean the plural: politics. The line, dolls of the material - I don't know if that's described enough. The evil people you liken to dolls and zombies. I think you could show these more. They're artificial people - can you tell this just by sight, for example? Is this the way humans become when they are corrupted? Another phrase 'to the truth': I would leave out 'the.' I think I would like this poem better if each 3 lines were made into one. Just my opinion. It would read like lists, such as Anne Sexton did later in life and Erica Jong, for what it's worth. Kaye
CONSIDERING THE SCOPE OF YOUR OBSERVATIONS, YOUR THINKING AND PERFECT CORRALLING OF ALL THAT'S OUT THERE THAT NEEDS CORRECTION, CESSATION, PUNISHMENT, THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO FOCUS ON YOUR FRIGGIN', PARDON ME, ENGLISH. YOUR PICTURE IS COMPLETE AND EASILY GRASPED. THE MAGNITUDE OF TRUTH, WISDOM, AWARENESS OF REALITY THAT YOU SHARE WITH US IS LARGER THAN LIFE AND TOUCHES UPON THE URGENT NEED FOR ALL US TO STOP BEING ACCEPTING AND COMPLACENT. WHAT A BRAIN YOU HAVE, SIR. OH, AND, YES, WHAT A HEART! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! CAROL
