A Mother After All Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Mother After All

Rating: 5.0


Nature writes only the basic physical laws, not our fates,
Protests on our inhuman acts, not interested in our beliefs,
When her disobedient child crosses the limits, she eliminates,
A mother after all, comes on the grave with possible reliefs.
To save her innocent children she's constrained for an unkind act,
She had reacted, she is reacting and she'll continue to react.

No wonder if the old mother is always slow and too late,
A difficult decision to kill someone conceived in love,
History of the human civilization, the tomes narrate,
Nobody could kill the bird of peace, my sweet dove!
Our seven centuries for her are only seven days,
Saturday night storms are followed by sunny Sundays.

Yes, mother earth reacts at the unkind and inhuman acts of her children beyond a limit. Very well said. 'She had reacted, she is reacting and she'll continue to react'.

I agree, every action will have equal reaction, the way we are changing this world such calamities are bound to happen and no one is responsible other then us. Let the better sense prevails.10+

Once our species destroys itself, the Earth will repair and restore its intrinsic beauty.

Nature powerfully writes the physical laws. Inhuman acts done by human beings provoke thought and bring sadness. Old mother is always slow and too late but her love is peaceful and she is very affectionate. Nobody should kill the bird of peace. Dove should fly in freedom and peace. A powerful and brilliant poem is well penned...10
