Next Life Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Next Life

Rating: 5.0


With very little thinking tending to zero,
It always dreamed to become a hero,
Got life as a pleasure,
After enjoying this thrilling adventure,
It is committing suicide like Emperor Nero.

The Eve should avoid the ice-cream cone,
Should jump from black to white zone
Avoiding the grey virus' empire,
Different life and different desire,
Different Adam, with different overcoat of ozone!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Roman emperor 54-68; full name Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Infamous for his cruelty, he ordered the murder of his mother Agrippina in 59 and wantonly executed leading Romans. His reign witnessed a fire that destroyed half of Rome in 64. A wave of uprisings in 68 led to his flight from Rome and his eventual suicide.

Some people made life miserable for others. People who practices violence will end up in violence or suicide. The second stanza is a great imaginative write. A wise alternative. A wonderful poem.
