Wine Of Truth Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Wine Of Truth
I am not short of mental funding
I can have any of these bottles
available in the market.
Packings are nice and the bottles are attractive,
well supported by advertising,
and many with handsome trade offers,
but the wine inside?
I am a years old drunk
but I doubt wine in these bottles
is not pure.
Some have sexy colors
some have exciting smells
some may have a lovely taste
some have all the three
but blended with alcohol of lies
manufactured in a brewery of assumptions.
I am shocked why the manufacturers
are engaged in a cutthroat competition.
Why they claim the wine of ethics they sell
is the real wine of truth
and all other wines are blended.
These bottles can't make me truly drunk.
Let me die for want of wine
but don't convince me to drink wine that is impure.
Wonderful poem Akhtar Sahab! Ethical and moral values compared to wine, wine bottles and breweries gives the taste of finesse with a profound question of search for the wine of truth. Top Marks
Adulteration is so rampant in our society! In a consumer culture, any thing is marketable! Unfortunately there are only very few who look for quality and raise their voice against spurious things!
