Immersed in deliberations

Posted: Apr 29, 2008 Tue 02:25 pm     Views: 201    Interacts: 3

Of all those moments we cannot see
What lies beyond, all we see is fiction
Of our shortcomings, of our failures
Issues we cannot resolve, we blame
On someone else, not our burden,
Incapable, barren like the land
From years of wasteful efforts
Find them we all everywhere
In streets, these signatures of their crime
Immersed in deliberation, the old plots
To reincarnate the old effects,
Fools we are, as we expect goodness
From politicians of our times!

Sir Shobig_Sifar,
valid concerns I must say and quite rightly pointed out..I dont know why I wrote that poem in this manner, I guess to reflect the political situation and players who have different concepts what is expected of them..Hence the reason the poem looks like a prose and the prose a poem....

But the next poem " Redemption" takes care of this concept of prose and rhymes....

kahkin yaar, no offense but you are not doing poetic justice to your own work anymore, i mean it looks more like prose. Consider lyric-izing it and make the verses rhyme a bit more, please. Have really liked most of your previous works, count me in as a fan.
