So What The Old Man Was Caught Up Poem by Akhtar Jawad

So What The Old Man Was Caught Up

Rating: 5.0


He was not caught up in any act
subversive to law and state,
or any act against the customs and traditions.
He was not caught up in attacking a place of worship
killing hundreds of innocent men, women and children.
He was not caught up for a bomb attack on a school
killing pretty flowers who were learning the ethics.
To become an ideal grownup human
who were away of their homes to learn the civics.
Neither was he caught up in money laundering
nor misappropriating the funds
that were meant for the welfare of the nation.
He was not caught up in abusing a child
he was not caught up in burning a woman alive,
he was not caught up in over speeding a car
killing the school going children.
He was not caught up being drunk while driving.
Yes, he was caught up while he was drunk
after an excessive drink of love
when in ecstasy he forgot to lock the doors
and you caught up him with his sweetheart.
Why do you make fun of an old man?
Can't you forgive him if he is still in love!

A wonderful and lovely write with a tinge of humor. The last lines of the poem came unexpectedly. They were the perfect closure. Amazing piece that creates indelible impression in the mind of a reader.10
