Ayes And Noes Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Ayes And Noes

Rating: 4.9


He wrote yes to love,
he wrote no to hate.
He wrote yes to justice,
he wrote no to injustice.
He wrote yes to peace,
he wrote no to war.
Now he is in a mental hospital,
always shouting,
"Please give me a chance,
I want to edit my poems
and replace
ayes for noes
and noes for ayes! "

His moral votes will only be counted in a moral universe. Meanwhile he was judged in a harsh courtroom for which he did not prepare himself. If only people can hear the beauty of his testimony, offered in a courtroom of his own creation.

Wow, this is a brilliant thought provoking poem. A philosophical write that focuses on the character of a man. Yes, a man who says no to love, yes to hate, no to justice, yes to injustice, no to peace and yes to war is a mentally deranged man. He should be locked up in a mental hospital and be treated to make him aware of what is right from wrong.

Great write! Please do not replace ayes for noes, we have enough problems and injustice in this world. Let's keep everything positive: ayes for love and justice, noes for war and injustice.

A world gone mad, values upside down. There is much food for thought here. Thank you sir.
