A Plea Of A Flea Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

A Plea Of A Flea

Rating: 4.4


(dedicated to Mr. Michael Gale, a great poet at poemhunter)

chaotic nights
tortured knights
haunted minds
shreded curtains

who will be there
when all sorrow will scare?
who will be here
when all fellows be near?

turmoil, away in seconds
frightens safe havens
an obsessed human
mourns our autumn

why will we be there,
when all jewels become ashes?
why will we be here
when all crystals collapse?

rip greed off
fleece avarice
you find relief
with heart so nice

tear us selfishly apart
break status' rampart
you find liberation
and true salvation

O foam of ocean!
O fur of horizon!
come to peace!
come to grace!

O Eve's daughters!
O Adam's sons!
go to Heaven!
go to Eden!

A nice flow to this. I like some of the stanzas which are also very meaningful, but others are not of the same quality and their meaning is hard to grasp.

The poet has portrayed the scope and style of Michael Gale's poetry, quite passionately: tear us selfishly apart / break status' rampart you find liberation / and true salvation
