Hopes For 2016 Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Hopes For 2016
Where politicians are failed,
humanity is derailed,
innocent children
and helpless women,
are stranded in a closed lane,
by the hate insane,
where religious extremists
and cruel nationalists
are mad and insane,
another year gone in vain,
where helpless mothers
avoided looking into their children's eyes,
and raised their wet eyes to the skies
for a savior from sky.
I don't deny,
but nature is not much worried about us,
not in hurry to reply,
to the silent questions
of the ailing humans
and tearful cries.
The careless skies
know only two arts
create and destroy,
who knows why the earth is ignored,
probably it has no significance,
who knows what's stored
in the year that has born today,
has it born with the same old horn,
with an ugly face,
without a grace!
Fed up of earth now seems nature,
Is ahead of us a deadly future?
Is it a global warming,
or a nuclear war,
a sudden war without an alarming,
or a deadly sphere from the space,
is going to hit the earth,
who knows the future of humans
who knows their fates,
but the eggs that nature incubates,
may crack in the new year,
that has born today,
nature now looks frustrated,
is our earth now out dated!
Let us be a little optimistic,
let us hope the best
from the year that has come,
can reply the silent questions?
All I can say,
promised lands are the greatest lies.
Don't wait for a savior from skies,
we shall welcome him when he comes,
but I see the writers,
and the poets,
the singers of love,
the painters of dove
and all the fine artists,
promoting with courage and confidence,
a culture of love,
peace and coexistence,
they may give a call,
they may break the wall,
that has closed the lane,
by the hate insane,
they may open a highway,
to a peaceful Milky Way,
that leads to a place,
of a shining grace,
and the silent question,
of the restless children,
my be replied,
may not be applied!
Sweethearts!
Ahead of you is a great future.
You will survive on the mother earth,
Every newly born is cute enough,
being optimistic and hopeful,
let us pray,
the baby becomes a nice handsome.

An outstanding write about the hatred of the extremists who cause so much suffering to innocent people. We have to stand united against the madness of their beliefs!

An in depth evaluation of the year gone by! It has been one of mixed fortunes... more of violence and hatred, mass killing and intolerance! Let us hope that the incoming year will be one of better prospects, though so many threats are before us like a war, global warming, a stellar collision and many more. What ever the year has in store for us, let us all combat them staying united in love! A great message for New Year! Wish you once again a happy New Year Akhtar ji!
I saw today on the TV that the North Polar, ice caps are melting and temp there has increased by 20 degrees, which is very alarming and terrifying. And the picture you posted say's it all and it was not coincidental either as I know this from your poem. The best thing about this poem is that it starts on a heartbreaking note and ends with hope and you keep hope alive... As long as hope is alive we will never die. Thank you Akhtar Sahib for this insightful piece.
Two arts; create and destroy. And half or more of creation is the ability to destroy. May this year bring about change. Happy New Year to you and yours, my friend.
Really a nice poem on current affairs....Lets hope everything reverse this year and people unity and live peacefully...10 HAPPY NEW YEAR TO U AND YOUR FAMILY....2016
