The Wall Poem by Muhammad Ehtesham
The Wall
Impenetrable,
Impervious,
The apotheosis of tenacity!
Choking,
Revolting,
Consuming,
This humongous wall
This oppressive barricade!
Nothing explains how
What we create,
What we are,
Stands as a Leviathan:
The sum of all -
The oppressor of one.
As I collide
I am shattered,
Into a million pieces I'm scattered.
And I grope in this darkness
Attempting to put my pieces together
To make one whole of a man,
One whole of a boy,
Or half of a baby.
We are naught but a reduction
Of what we are
And our existence stands meager.
But in the face of the Leviathan
I exist,
I breathe in a scathing existence,
I burn and burst:
In flame do I exist!
I agree with Kelly. It's a powerful ink. Skillful use of vocabulary. Strong emotions expressed with flair.

Social injustice has always been a leviathen within the humans. Anyone who gained power became mighty and suppressed the weaker. The fact remains that the beast within humans could not be socialized as an ideal human. The actual irony starts when we claim that our misdeeds were in the interests of humans and we blame others for the same type of misdeeds. But the positive thing is this that we at least now talk of human rights. I congratulate you that you converted such talks in a wonderful poem.
