Reaction Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Reaction

Rating: 5.0


A physical law that is true only in the physical matters,
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The ego hidden in our emotional and sentimental matters
forces us to react many times more than the initial action.
We love our nation,
we love our religion,
and we love our culture,
we are right in our love,
but when our love makes us an extremist
and we start preaching
social boycott of the minorities,
we forget there are many nations
many religions,
and many cultures.
They also love their nation, their religion and their culture.
We are in majority in our country
but In their countries we are a minority.
They react many times more than us.
Before condemning the reaction
why don't we think twice
that a call for social boycott of minorities
is in fact a call, boycott us.

A very wise and sensible poem. If we could use some restraint and show some tolerance in our dealings with the people who are not of our culture or religion we would be so much better off as humans. Thank you for sharing a timely poem written with your heartfelt sentiments.
