Mental Slavery Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Mental Slavery

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes for land,
sometimes for gold
and sometimes for a woman,
they locals fought among themselves
gave an opportunity to the foreign aggressors,
and became physical slaves for thousand years.
It was always a foreign aggressor that united them.

This time,
the aggressors may come from the space,
neither for land,
nor for gold,
nor for a woman,
the mutinous pets will find their nuclear weapons are deactivated,
they will unite to be mental slaves for another million years.

A brilliant and unique perception of a great thinker. Mental slavery is the hardest of all. It is all consuming and defeating. The enemies are incognito. A clever and insightful write.
