Divide And Rule Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Divide And Rule

Rating: 5.0


For the countless days
I stood at the meadow
To see the vastness of the field
My sight returned to me with a smile

For the countless nights
I stood under the sky
To see the stars and galaxies
My sight returned with a glowing light.

For countless days and nights
I stood and watched the city
To see the life around
My sight returned with shame

Now I fear to see the Villages
the prosperity and honesty may have gone
Since theelected government is formed
by working on the "Divide and Rule" principles

This has been going on for ages now; but, slowly, slowly, people are waking up: no more docile sheep! A great poem! May your words be heard!

I appreciate the way of presentation of this poem. It is a nice satire on Divide and Rule principles. The last stanza is much impressive. Beautiful poem.

Politics of human is dividing the society and its fabric whereas the nature is trying to unite the message is profound and straight, good poem.

Nature in its original form is far better than the modified version by humans. A poem that makes us think hard.

a lovely poem. You are happy when you observe nature-meadows, sky, starlit.. untouched by man. But when you see around where man has a finger in every pie, you grow sad.Lovely observation. Elections are always won on divide and rule policy -this is stark reality! thanks for sharing.
