Tremors, Earthquake And The Aftershocks Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Tremors, Earthquake And The Aftershocks

Rating: 5.0


Innocent, ignorant and sentimental crowd thinks
its opinion is the king maker,
they don't know during the era of later Mughals,
these were Syed Brothers who played the role of king makers.
Was Arun Nehru, a cousin of Jawaharlal Nehru, really mighty?
No, a king maker is never mighty,
not even in the United States,
where majority of people was with Hillary Clinton
but Donald Trump managed to capture the White House.
When people are weak certain persons in various institutions
become mighty and start playing the role of a king maker.
The tremors that started with the disqualification of a Prime Minister
were tuned in an earthquake,
he was sent to the Jails.
People in the semi democratic countries are used to
with such political shocks.
Innocent People!
Prepare yourself for the aftershocks,
I think you are going to elect the same old group,
but it doesn't mean the man with a hat
will be crowned as your next Prime Minister,
even if he takes oath of the seat,
sooner or later a forward block will be made,
and a man on an armored jeep may enter the Prime Minister House.
An advice for the playboy
your play may not flourish in the Prime Minister House,
as an opposition leader enjoy your life with your gals.
Another advice for the Cupid,
your home is a nice place for hunting,
don't waste your arrows in the forests of beautiful female deer.

My government sucks! From what I've seen, most do. For the same reasons.

Donald Trump is an uneducated, selfish, oligarchic! Those in my country who back him are undereducated and pained people who hope for better but don't know how to make it happen. Although they are somewhat in the minority, it does not seem to matter. History will record this time as the downfall of yet another 'empire'.

Ignorant and sentimental crowd thinks something but cannot be king maker. Opposition leaders enjoy life with gals. This poem is very thought provoking and amazingly penned...10

A nice take on unfit people coming into power and the drama enacted everywhere for getting hold onto the chair of authority. Also the chaos and confusion that follows!

Based on the scenario that has taken shape over the years in this sub-continent or elsewhere, you have made an objective assessment of the dramatis persona along with your prescriptions for Playboy Khan and others. But the 'Innocent, ignorant and sentimental crowd' has a right to see dreams.

A powerful write brilliantly penned. A very keen observation on people's behavior regarding politics. Sometimes people are blinded by the true issues confronting the country. The three last lines of the poem are thought provoking.10+++++

In any country of the world, the fundamental right to choose representatives does not really result into little more than a continuation of the status quo. A well-crafted political poem Jawad sahab. Thanks for sharing.
