The Cracked Mirror Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The Cracked Mirror

Rating: 5.0


I have put in your room all you need
If it's deficient now, it's your misdeed.
Your hate, your violence, your greed!

I gave you a mirror that has been cracked.
You! My image in it! Has been hijacked!
Laughing mirror now, as you're off tracked!

I gave you thoughts to frame the laws
You polluted it, now it has many flaws.
Damaged stitching with your own claws!

Now you appear naked and too ungraced
Reset your room, it is still well placed,
Promise, your mirror will be soon replaced.

Hate, violence and greed like vices have captured modern world people and Earth is burning in sorrow, burdens and hatred. This seems to be like a broken mirror. This provokes thought entirely. Replacing the mirror to have beautiful reflection is nice. Promise should be given before God to have peace and love around us. Brilliant poem is excellently penned.10
