Worried citizen, fading morale
They broke the rules
But told me
They want us to feel happy
I still believed
Unrealized dreams, lost hopes
They killed the innocents
But told me
They want us to live long
I still believed
Helpless eyes, stressed folks
They extorted people
But told me
They want us to be rich
I still believed
Scared faces, empty streets
They wreaked havoc
But told me
They want us to feel safe
I still believed
Endless struggle, spiritless life
Thriving poverty, growing injustice
Caught in darkness
One day, my belief grew legs
And walked away
Unrealized dreams, lost hopes It is one piece that is so well engineered, that it changes from an tight analytical poem to one which is rational enough to be a true message.The metaphoric and literal are perfectly balanced, a perfect way the poet makes meaning with art. Excellent poem 10+++++++++++
horrifying....if our belief walks away....u have given us an insight abt the life of those people....let hope and belief never leave their home and land...may peace and faith prevail... thanks for sharing.
Excellent poem Jha ji. The refrain in the first stanzas and in the last one a conclusive stroke.........just beautiful. Very well written.
a poignant write penned with deep emotion about current times and false hopes..belief blinded with false promises...well penned
many reasons why man grew with insecurities. to me it seems that man is nothing but limited, weak, egnorant in many ways yet still believing that he's not at all- the illusion of pride in us.
