Col. Gaddafi Comments

A beautiful penning about a hero turned devil or a dictator and broke the trust of people who relied him once as a savior. Thanks for sharing.

A unexpected poem. Did not expect something like this. I could never have imagined that anyone could have treated him as hero at one point. Perhaps he got greedy for power and money. Then your revolution turned ruthless Maverick without reason Intolerant of dissent Recklessly extravagant Megalomaniac decadent You have scripted Gaddafi's character to the period in these lines. Well illustrated verses illustrating the expectations of the people who looked up to him. I could fathom the emotions of soldiers especially the ladies who fought for righteousness. Effective and unusual poetry. I liked it.

A great write. Thanks for sharing.

You captured the historical perspective with great clarity in the poem. Every leader starts off with a genuine approach and deviates from it as power dominates all else.

I don't know much about Gaddafi except that he started as an anti imperialist and ended up as a hard core dictator and an autocrat! But reading this poem I understand how the youngsters adored and hero worshipped him! We know that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely! Most of the dictators of world history had to yield one day or the other to the tragic fate that awaited them. The Libyans initially held him so high...... But one cannot unleash his wickedness for long.....! Once when people understand the true colour of their supposed 'saviour' will naturally retaliate! Indeed a brilliant write! The closing part where Gaddafi's fate is compared to that of Ozymadias has given the poem an extra brilliance! Great Diction! Top marks!

I am quite ignorant of the politics and different fractions in other countries. But recognise a very good write when I read one. Thanks for sharing.
