A Happy New Year Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Happy New Year

Rating: 4.9


Leaving frustrations and terror behind,
Another year, so cruel and so unkind,
Has now entered in the dark black hole,
Still dances on earth its porn whole sole,
A year has gone another is born,
With the same sharpness of deadly horn,
Unpredictable infant with tightly closed palms,
Pinching hairs I see on its knife like arms,
I could have described hopefully its charms,
But I see it has come with black storms.

Many believe in forecasts and predictions,
But I smile on it, I prefer calculations,
Based on truthful ground realities,
Facts and figures! Calculate cruelties,
I am also a human I believe in hope.
Dangerous is the height, we walk on a rope,
And the air that is blowing now a days,
Is the worst enemy that always betrays!
Satanic agents who support the terror?
I lack courage, can't work as a mirror!
We all are cowards and can't be truthful,
So how can I hope for a year beautiful!
But as an optimistic I hope and pray,
A happy new year, be it so, it may!

A Beautiful poem on eve of New Year. Yes, I too used to believe in predictions and calculations. I used to read all the magazines, watch TV whole night calculating my predictions of future. But...Just every thing happened in opposite. I brought the new year calendar today, otherwise i keep looking for new year calendar to see the whole predictions. This bad habit I changed in this new year. No more to predictions. But if anyone asks I make rough calculations and tell them. Your poem just reminded me today again regarding the predictions. What's going on today in the world is really painful. Beautiful presentation and loved reading each lines. Wishing you too a Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2015! God Bless us all.

A Man of wisdom and reasoning power cannot close the eyes against the harsh realities! Last year has seen many unfortunate incidents! Terrorism has been unleashed to an alarming level! So we cannot expect the New Year to be very smooth and bright! The natural apprehensions of a sensitive soul! Still you hope and pray for a beautiful year! A great write!
