Establishment And Media Moguls Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Establishment And Media Moguls
Caws of crows in the talk shows,
Someone before whom the whole nation bows.
Establishment a name of God?
My submissions with a nod!
But the meaning! Laughed at the crows.
The terminology is used in Pakistan to describe the cooperative federation of the powerful military oligarchy; it also asserts its role as a consolidated intelligence community. The idea of Establishment is no different from "The Establishment" in the United Kingdom.
The Establishment's sphere mainly consists of the country's high-ranking civil servants and military officers. Others included are senior members of the Judiciary, the most important financiers and industrialists and the media moguls. The Establishment in Pakistan considers the key and elite decision makers in country's public policy, ranging from the use of the intelligence services, national security, foreign and domestic policies.
Meaning of Oligarchy by Wikipedia
Oligarchy (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía): from ὀλίγος (olígos) , meaning 'few', and ἄρχω (arkho) , meaning 'to rule or to command')is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people.
Meaning of Media Moguls by Collins English Dictionary
A media proprietor, media mogul or media tycoon refers to a successful entrepreneur or businessperson who controls, through personal ownership or via a dominant position in any media related company or enterprise, media consumed by a large number of individuals.
It's pretty much the same everywhere, with a bunch of people ruling the majority, exploiting them and ruining the very spirit of democracy and freedom. A wonderful poem Mr Jawad. Thanks for sharing.
A great satire on media moguls. When media is controlled by a few, there is a tendency of breaching the freedom of speech and suppression of the truth. A write intelligently penned.10++++
I agree the experts sitting in a talk show are like the crows.
Read with the Poet's Notes, this limerick, though penned in a lighter vein, is a bold and powerful commentary on the Polity and the Establishment (in its larger than life picture) . Thanks, Akhtar sahab.
