Hoping I Shall Be Proved Wrong By Someone Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Hoping I Shall Be Proved Wrong By Someone

Rating: 5.0


When I suffer from a disease
and I am in pain
I don't blame anyone else,
I blame myself and my sins.
When an innocent child suffers from a disease
and he is in pain
I don't know who I should blame.
Should I blame the child and his sins?
I shall not ask it from the nature,
neither nature will listen to it
nor it will reply to me.
I shall ask it from myself
and I shall reply it to me.
Deaf and dumb and blind is the nature,
it throws on the earth packs of life
pleasure quotedpainful packs!
Without knowing what's inside the pack
one is happy to catch a pack.
How lucky were those who could not catch a pack,
how unlucky is the one who caught a pack!
I am not a pessimist and being an optimist
I still pray for the ailing child
Hoping I shall be proved wrong by someone.

I am more a 'realist' but tend toward optimism. The good intentions of prayer, without actions, pave the road to metaphorical. Suffering is often a matter of chaos, but it is also often a matter of greed and inaction.
