A very perceptive write. Wonderful thoughts to ponder about. The laws of men are different from God. Liked how the great Poet made a distinction as how men and Heaven dispense justice. Another great poem from a great discerning mind.
In a way I was looking for your comments on this poem, today it has come, and I feel good about it, thank you so much dear poet.
" The killed when can't come back from dead." i'd make " when" the first word in line. Perhaps Heaven is TOO FULL to take more souls? Or perhaps God is giving us a second (or 3rd or 100th?) chance to earn Heaven? We are really 'on parole' from! ! ! bri ;)
... contd The word heaven is used here in a slightly different sense, not paradise, but in the sense of Destiny or Fate, 'those that decide fate'... You know as I too that there is no heaven for us (not universal 'us', but both us) . May be a few days there for some accidental good deeds, but what awaits us is perhaps.... so enjoy your parole.
well, the second part came but not the first... so let me reconstruct what I said earlier... First, could I pray have my poetic freedom? Second, 'the' can be used as a stressed syllable, but the way i did I thought was better, for my tetra-cord (tetra meter) iambic (eight syllabic line) .
A insightful rendition set aside for sober reflection. Thanks for sharing, Aniruddha. Remain enriched.
'Remain enriched', ah such wonderful good wishes, what more a poet can expect, thanks so much dear poet Chinnedu Dike.
The idea of Punar Janm (lives after lives) appeals, as it replies so many questions that can not be replied by any other ethics.
Very true, Akhtar Jawad, it is clear that apart from a good poet, you are a serious thinker with a thinking that goes beyond your basic faith. That should be the spirit of time, and if we all think that way a lot of ills on this planet can be wiped out. Thanks for your feedback.
For his fair conduct, goodly grade, The killer was out on parole....brilliantly expressed! What a beautiful poem! My pleasure reading it again and again!
Rebirth? ? so many questions.. will we carry the memories in us when we are reborn.? your poem dear Aniruddha made me think a lot. thank u. tony
Thank you Dr Antony, I guess you're a student of Indic philosophy.
I believe, we are reborn like on parole, to complete the unfinished agenda of our soul. A brilliant poem that looks probingly into the nature of our justice system.
Divine laws might look rather crude, But justice feels forced to look good! Wonderful expression! Loved reading this insightful piece of poetry! (10)
Dr Swain, your interpretation hits the bull'e eye. We're on the same page, and thank you for your feedback.
Dr Swain, your interpretation is on the dot, we are on the same page, and thank you your feedback.
Thank you Mahtab Bangalee, we are on Parole but we seldom are aware, and often jump the parole..
Contradictions in life and social system pin pointed wonderfully. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ratnakar Mandlik, and though rather late let me wish you happy 2019.
Divine laws are always working in lap of nature and these laws motivate mind always. Fair conduct is always admired. A nice sharing is done and we love to read such nice poem.10
Thank you, Kumarmani Mahakul, your feedback carries some weight.
...........Reborn, are we not on parole? Prisoners are sent on parole for good conduct, but we are sent to the earth on parole for purificatory process
Alas, very few earn their parole well, But God is kind and hopes, one day 'he/she will realize'. Yes, well said, we are on parole for purification. Thanks dear poet.
