The Adventurists Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Very nice poem. Yes it is the small things that good people do that we remember them for. They are every where doing good by the sheer force of goodness, residing in their hearts with out expecting any thing in return. Thank you for highlighting their work.

There are many types of people who fit this category. All dare to do what most won't or can't

Beautiful message conveyed on humanity. Very well said in concluding lines. Still there exists humanity who does good things for others without expecting any returns back. A wonderful write. Loved reading it.

Those who do good for others without expecting anything in return are the people who sustain the world... Those unsung heroes are to be remembered with gratitude! A great acknowledgement of their selfless service....!

People who makes mistakes and teaches others not to do the same are indeed taller than tall! ! Wisely written, thank you sir-10

This is indeed a wonderful and heartfelt tribute to someone who was wise enough to use his vision and wisdom to protect others from a possible mishap with a little bit of effort in the right direction. I owe you a big Thank You, Akhtar Jawad Sahab. I quote a few lines from this lovely poem: My salute to such so many adventurists! Humanity is grateful to taller than the tall!

Taking risk and moving forward is definitely adventure. Curiosity grows while moving forward. Humanity is ever grateful and taller. Very amazing, interesting and thoughtful poem you have shared really. Lovely sharing this is...10

oops! may mistake. i will put this into the AUGUST 2016 showcase, NOT the July one. :)

akhtar, i looked up revert. such a difference between the two definitions! ! *** [but one is a verb usage and the other is a noun usage] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ***re·vert rəˈvərt/ verb verb: revert; 3rd person present: reverts; past tense: reverted; past participle: reverted; gerund or present participle: reverting 1. return to (a previous state, condition, practice, etc.) . he reverted to his native language synonyms: return, go back, change back, default; fall back, regress, relapse life will soon revert to normal return to (a previous topic) . he ignored her words by reverting to the former subject convert to (the Islamic faith) . I reverted to Islam five years ago Biology return to (a former or ancestral type) . it is impossible that a fishlike mammal will actually revert to being a true fish Law (of property) return or pass to (the original owner) by reversion. synonyms: be returned; historical escheat the property reverted to the landlord archaic turn (one's eyes or steps) back. on reverting our eyes, every step presented some new and admirable scene noun noun: revert; plural noun: reverts 1. a person who has converted to the Islamic faith. Origin ================================= i get the feeling that this poem is NOT about a long hole in the ground (a ditch) . i think it is saying some people shy away from the dangers of standing up to human difficulties, perhaps even such great difficulties as tyranny, a dreaded plague of some sort, etc. the tall adventurists 'chicken out' (to use an idiom) and warn others [which is nice...to warn others], BUT the taller adventurists are willing to sacrifice themselves, if need be, and sometimes therefore lose their lives, or money, or good reputation, or freedom in order to try to make life for their families, or fellow townspeople, or countries, or planet...........more safe and comfortable. i THINK revert refers to turning from danger, and thus failing to overcome some difficulty. i THINK snapped means stopped before the danger was too great, but i never would think that the word 'snapped would be used in such a way. since i DON'T KNOW exactly what the author meant to say when using snapped, i don't have any good suggestion for an alternate way to say it. so i shall put this into the July 2016 a showcase for PH poets as i have received it. thanks, Akhtar. bri :)
