I quote, 'With no one to steer the course The ship is like an unbridled horse' and unquote!

Each and every stanza stands out that emphasizes the need to have a leader....a leader with great qualities to direct us towards success in our endeavors. A great poem well executed. To my Poem List.

A wonderful and powerful poem beautifully crafted and conveyed with great imagery and metaphor. In life we truly need a leader that help us to identify, understand and define our purpose.

Quite true, Valsa. Shazia's comments and your response are so very appropriate, but the problem with our nations is of finding an honest 'captain' in the current highly vitiated and corrupted environ.

Beautiful nugget....A ship without a Captain is like the uncontrolled horse. Dont know which direction its running. Loved reading it.

Thank you Shahzia for guessing right the context of this poem! With the results of the Assembly elections in several states of our country, it is doubtful if any party is going to get a decisive majority, leaving the country's leadership so uncertain! ! This is sadly the picture everywhere! Without proper leaders, our future hangs on the balance! ! This is true of all walks of life! !

this one can be contextualized with the help of the election scenes in our side of the world, though it's quite true for the whole world...yes, the Captain matters! ! !

A ship needs a captain. It is implied that the captain is well trained and always keeps the passenger safety first. Nice nugget.

yes, there's always the need to have someone at the helm to chart across the right path.
