An Outstanding Loan Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The embryo smiled,
The first glimpse of the letter,
The first sigh of relief,
He read the subject,
Loan Granted.
It was a long letter,
But he didn't bother to read,
The complete content,
He said, my foot!
I shall read it at a later time,
And placed it in the third drawer!
That is opened in dreams,
Those come like thieves,
Sometimes like fairies,
And sometimes,
Like demons and devils.

Opened the door
His head was the first,
He saw on the left,
He saw on the right,
He was a little injured,
And he cried for a while,
In pain and fear,
But the first breath in,
An the first breath out,
Brought courage in him,
The oxygen of earth,
And warmness,
Of social relationships,
And above all,
The welcoming love,
From all sides,
Brought confidence in him!


The magic in the breasts,
Of the mother who fed him,
Boosted his senses,
Accelerated his systems,
And the confidence,
Gained being loved,
Inspired him for efforts,
He crawled,
He stood up,
He started walking,
He started running,
And he ran and rushed,
To the garden of youth
Whereat he knew,
A woman is beauty,
In all her roles,
And smiling she plays all.
All around,
Arms of kind trees,
Welcomed the child,
He went to a playground,
And there made a few friends,
He enjoyed a care free time,
And played many games!
Enjoyed ice creams,
Chocolates and cakes,

Then he saw her,
And her beauty and charm,
Made him enchanted,
His thoughts his emotions,
His sentiments,
His dreams,
His life,
Whatever he had,
Were now slaves!
Slaves of her silky hairs,
Slaves of dark brown eyes,
Slaves of her rosy cheeks,
Slaves of her petals like lips.
Slaves of the waves,
From hills to the sea,
Like a waterfall,
He fell from the hill,
Like a wild river,
He moved on the plains,
Satisfied and content,
He fell from the hills,
And lost himself,
In the deep blue ocean
She was a tree of flowers,
A tree of fruits,
And her lovely off shoots,
Saved him from sunlight,
In the hot warm days, .
And in the lovely nights,
She was turned in moon lights.

In a corner of the garden,
He sewn some seeds,
Watered the earth,
A few plants came out,
With green lovely leaves,
And pink flowers,
Lovely colors,
And nice fragrance,
He saved the plants,
With a fence of care,
Worked hard for them,
And helped all of them,
To reach at a height,
He was pleased to see.
During all this struggle,
He received many letters,
From his bankers,
Time to time,
He read the subject,
And threw in the drawers,
And when silver shined,
In remaining hairs,
He received final notice,
From the bankers,
The Humanity!
Though you have paid,
The interest from time to time,
But the principal is intact.
The period of loan,
Was extended many times,
On your requests and prayers,
Finally it was done,
During heart attack,
On April 1,2008!
It can't be extended now,
And you are advised to repay,
The standing loan,
You are indebted of,
The Humanity,
Your creditor,
Otherwise The Humanity,
Keeps the right,
To auction to any creature,
The highest bidder,
Of your mortgaged soul!
