A New Song Of Innocence & Experience! Poem by Shahzia Batool
A New Song Of Innocence & Experience!
A wounded child waved to him
He stopped his car with a caring heart
Before he knew it
An armed and tightly muffled man
came from the dark in the rear
Knocked him down on the hard ground
The next moment when he came to his senses
Found himself alone
The man and the child in the car were off
he saw upwards
As if to search for his late father
An honest face emerged
in the flakes of moonlit clouds
He heard him speak some silent words,
“My Son, I know the times are bad,
Don’t look with these complaining eyes
My lessons that I taught to you
are still but right
Keep intact your innocence
And leave aside your foolishness
Just use your brain and think before the act of mercy
Where to stop, where not to stop…
I gave you all the gift of trust but
Certainly not the blind one…
How sad that such incidents occur here in the 21st century.
I have seen sister such acts when i was posted to HASIMARA near Bhutan..I felt badly but I came to know the Poverty is the main root cause we must look into it Poverty is a curse a fertile land for crime nice poem thank you
that is kind of testing your good attentions there is always reasons pushing you to other side but we should stuck on our way and never become like your(enemy) / thanks
We see and hear about such acts. Never act blindly. Nice warning delivered. Thank you.
Amazing Ms. Shahzia Batool Ji! Just use your brain and think before the act of mercy Where to stop, where not to stop… I gave you all the gift of trust but Certainly not the blind one… In this world of hypocisy and decietfullness one should think before the act of mercy!
Sometimes we do things unwittingly trying to help someone in need. We have to pray for discernment in the choices that we make. Good advice from a father to son. Let us all take heed. Very good.
Excellent advice from the father above and common-sense for everyone in life today with the world full of people wanting to get something that is for free by hook or crook! great poem...regards
A great poem charged with deep feelings. Fantastic write with in-depth meaning. Marvelously written verse. Thumbs up!
