Mental Revolution Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Mental Revolution
The growth from the earth,
Is in accordance with the soil,
Where from it has grown,
And the air and water,
Are reflected in the growth,
As color, smell and taste,
The nature and behavior,
The base of their character
Is made in the womb,
Of their mother soil.
But a perpendicular on the base,
May rise high enough,
As it has a path,
That is infinite,
It may change attitude,
It may change the behavior.
The people of the plains,
Were peaceful and loving,
And the people of mountains,
And the deserts,
And the cold and overpopulated,
Being short of resources,
Turned out violent,
And warriors,
And became imperialists.
It's not the religion,
That prepares imperialists,
It's base of the people,
That plays this role.
While motivating the British soldiers,
The leaders addressed,
Either defeat Tipu.
Or go back to England,
Forget the wheat,
And eat potatoes.
The time has changed,
The perpendicular,
Has touched the ether of space,
Let us forget the past,
And join our hands,
To fight the poverty,
And to lit the candles,
For a mental revolution.
Poet has delineated or I can say put a ladder from meteorology to zoology ..and tried to give a message the great message to eradicate the poverty the best mission..and in this way we have to ignite our mind forgetting any ill feelings that pinch like a thorn in our bosom penned strongly Glory tobe Allah
Correct my friend. A mental revolution is required. Religious leaders of all denominations must join hands and lead the way.

PH has been helping me tonight to LOSE comments before i get them submitted! ! ! i need to be really careful to save them somewhere 'safe' before they are lost. it has happened about 3 times tonight while i've been asked to change the verification code. now i'm too tired to try to reconstruct the comment as it was, which included some info i learned online about who Tipu was. (killed by british in 1799) (well, specifically killed by a greedy soldier, after Tipu had been wounded) yes, i do believe that there are factors, not strictly based on religion, which cause fighting among nations, sects, and tribes. i have no faith that mankind will succeed in wiping out poverty, prejudice, illness, etc. worldwide. it is too much to expect of mankind! i was puzzled by the use of the words base and perpendicular. care to try explaining to me? bri :) :)
