Propose Day Of The Valentine Week Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Propose Day Of The Valentine Week

Rating: 4.8


Born on second day of the valentine week
under a waning crescent twenty five days old
visible only twenty two percent,
for many Buddhists a Nirvana Day,
was I a proposal of love and peace to the earth?
WWII had already killed many men, women and children.
Even the best medicines have a deadly side effect,
Who is perfect?
The creator!
But why his creation is so much imperfect?
Was I a proposal of love and peace or another failure of human intellect?
I was born as a deadly medicine concealed in two capsules
and dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
My friends!
Yes, it's my seventy fourth birthday,
but don't say Happy Birthday to me,
I don't like February 8,1945,
ahead of me is August 6,1945.
Skies are less worried for you,
propose love and peace to the earth only.
