Walking On Poem by malini kadir

Walking on through darkness and rain
Trying to with reason sane;
See far beyond the hurdles of present gain....
To unearth the rare diamonds with pain;

Knowing the futility in this world of knowledge
That a lay man can never truly understand
Hence his life to their free will disposed
Oft by myths and fables drowned

Into the fears of little consequence disowned.......
The majesty of the press and publicity
Can a man from rags to riches in quick time adorned
His feet then still down to earth to cleaner city!

Yet here is a lawyer; learned and principled
Hope the future, is by him better chiseled
For our not our leaders, the mirror of our nations soul?
They silent of our choice and intent hold to poll...

Sometimes the right time to expose the unfair trips taken
The money of public to private use easy channeled
let the lion not simply play with his cubs forsaken
let them also place their worth in the jungle land...........

Walking on through darkness and rain
Trying to with reason sane;
See far beyond the hurdles of present gain....
To unearth the rare diamonds with pain;
