Disintegration Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Disintegration

Rating: 5.0


Disintegration is a process,
When it starts never stops,
Like cell division,
Like viruses that go on reproducing,
Multiply and make everyone sick,
No medicine works,
Yet they have a written life,
But again it's a cycle,
History repeats itself,
Viruses almost vanish,
But a few remain alive,
To start a new cycle,
We all are helpless before the cycle,
Lucky are those,
Born in the age of integration,
Unlucky were we to be born,
In the time of disintegration,
But the old eyes have now seen,
The broken Berlin wall,
And united Vietnam,
Again disintegration of Soviet Union,
Resulting in an uni-polar world,
With the end of cold war,
And birth of proxy wars,
Disintegration and integration,
Running side by side,
Still I think,
And afraid to think,
Much more I shall see,
Before I am boarded,
For my last journey!

Great poem of depth on cycle of time. In Geeta Arjuna mesmerized by Krishna's mystique asks who are you? His simple reply 'I am Kaal (Time) risen for destruction. The whole race was destroyed save few. Yes we all see the unexpected again and again.

Integration and disintegration go side by side! Some ages witness greater disintegration, but some see greater integration! This process is never static, but cyclic! We accept what time offers! A serious write on History! Enjoyed!
