How To Do It Poem by Akhtar Jawad

How To Do It

Rating: 5.0


Even the greatest revolutionaries couldn't change the whole world.
They changed a section of a society for a short duration,
gave a road map to the world,
and left the world to be worshipped,
either as God,
or the son of God,
or the messenger of God.
Nobody follows their road maps
but everyone is always ready for a bloodshed
in the name of those great revolutionaries
and in the name of their message of peace,
tolerance, human brotherhood and coexistence.
Man is always a communal animal,
even communists,
Lenin and Stalin who didn't believe in God
could change a society for a short duration only.
Let me be confined to my sweet home,
to change my home I should change myself,
but how to do it?
For one that is needed to be changed
I have more than one lame excuses.

Indeed, I only have rationalizations that are my excuses.

What a wonderful and powerful political write. Very insightful. A deep analysis of the political system of the world. I agree with the Poet, revolutionaries could not change the world. There will always be another one..A cycle..never ending. Liked the closure lines. Very clever. 10+++ and on to my Poem List.

Because they teach to know the almighty unseen! But forget the conscience and the seen human veins in world

When one knows he can do FA then the only thing one ought to attempt is to change one's own self AND that is worse Why should I say you So change the world only for a few moments if you could AS then you too will move on Your not the sun nor the moon nor that arrow which traverses the world non stop The world will move on but you would have been forgotten like I am POET ME WHO? SO let the UNKNOWN GOD FOREVER RULE WHICH HE IS STILL SINCE AGES passed and ages hence till he says...
