The Most Concerned. Poem by Tajudeen Shah

The Most Concerned.

Rating: 5.0


Impressed, and sit wondering
At concerns honest and serious
Of the bards blessed, in issues
Of today; Burning and appalling.
Nature laments, No, is sobbing
On its malignant bruises
Her inmate intimate infracted,
Shaming even the wildest of beasts.
Eagles, Crows, King Fishers
And cats find no fun chasing fish
As rivers, lakes, brooks and fields
Full with prey, dead and rotten.
Who can pass by, without a hand
On the nostrils to save the self,
Through the adorned urban streets
Of esteem and mad pride!
Beyond restrictions, laws
And punishments severe are
Hooting and brawling oblivious
From even the cultured mass.
Eloquence even eliminates evils,
So would lexis sanitize souls
Submerged in self and social sins
That cause calamities callous.
Let us, bards, transmit a memo sore,
To keep water, air, plants and soil
At its form s destined for futurity,
For, we might need a breath to regret.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Hello poet Tajudeen. This was a powerful read filled with many words to describe the travesty and the neglect. I loved your ending. Loyd

Human beings are the most idiotic creature of this world.We boast of our intelligence but we cut the branch of the tree sitting on that particular branch.Forgetting the reciprocal relationship between Man and Nature we rob the spirit of nature.It's our shame.Nature takes revenge anyhow.The day of Ultimate Judgement is ahead.

Nature sobs and bards lament.... Yes, we poets are the most concerned about Nature's well being! It is from Nature that we mostly derive our inspiration... But man is so callous in polluting Nature.... The air, water and the soil are equally polluted... Cities and towns have become garbage piles... When will man start thinking that generations are to suffer the ill effects of man's reckless misuse of Nature! A poem of great concern and beauty!

As I swim in these waters of poetic stream, our nature begins to look hopeful in spite of her initial semblances of a dejected dame.. A fine and enlightening poem Shahji... Thanks a lot for your comments on my latest poems..
