Eagle's Plight Poem by M. Asim Nehal
Eagle's Plight
I am eagle
Elegant
Graceful
Fearless
Soaring sky
Gone those days
When beauty enthralled
when earth so green
with full vegetation
and animals
very few corpse to be seen
Now in my flight
I see corpse
of humans and animals
Lying alone
Result of bitter battles
Leaving food plenty for me
Alas I’m afraid to take
In fear of poison
May caused by bullets
Or blast or chemical
Or biological weapons
Forests no more
Less water resource
But I see
Humanity evaporating
By the heat of enmity
Mistrust hatred and money
Religion which once unite
But now it divides
With wrong preaching
For some selfish gains
Humanity cries like old rains
Mountains feel pressure
When fighter plane crosses
With bombs to blast
Tested sometimes or
To display power,
I see the agony of burning mountains
Crying for help.
Now I seldom take flight
Since my heart cries
Eyes feel the shame
For humanity in drain…..
Burning mountains! With the ways of mankind on earth. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful poem. Result of bitter battles Leaving food plenty for me. I’m afraid to take In fear of poison May caused by bullets Or blast or chemical Or biological weapons. Now I seldom take flight Since my heart cries Eyes feel the shame For humanity in drain! The entire poem reveals the truth.
And this eagle is scaling the heights of the sky with a message of humanity. What a metaphor you used.
It is an emphatic commentary on the grave situation facing the world today. Powerful use of metaphor makes it an extremely thought provoking poem. The eagle remains perched on an observation tower from where it can watch the degeneration of the values upheld by human civilisation ever since it started taking shape. Thanks.
Having imagery in life as Eagle to fly in high sky is fantastic and thoughtful. Mountains feel reality and pressure in mind since heart cries for humanity. Very wonderful sharing done definitely...10

A powerful take on the ongoing conflicts worldwide.. the perspective from an Eagle's eye as it flies high above observing the destructions man inflicts.. the distressed Eagle saddened and heavy of heart stops taking these flights.. thanks for sharing
