O Great God! Poem by Muhammad Ali

O Great God!

Rating: 5.0


O Great God! Treat those moments...
A man laughs when...
eyes filled with tears! !

O Great God! Treat those moments...
A man feels fear when...
another is there! !

O Great God! Treat those moments...
A man eats when...
another sweats! !

O Great God! Treat those moments...
To beat his hunger...
when man eats water! !

O Great God! Treat those moments...
No tears to weep when...
pain is deep! !

O Great God! Treat those moments...
When he dies...
to keep me alive! !

O Great God! Treat those moments...
When a man reasons...
to adopt war-ism! !

well you know Ali the Son of Adam..I mean Adamson....Yeats in his poem Second Coming says 'That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born? ' see this says the most holy city in the world is going to be attacked by 'sphinx'....so i hope things will realy get better...cause world has become a one big battlefield..anyway war in Sri Lanka is finaly over though..... nice one adam 10++

I had to read and reread this several times. I think this is among your best work. There is a lesson about true balance- a universal balance- placed so perfectly in this verse.

An appeal made in total submission to God for the manifestation of His presence in adversity, nicely brought with spiritual insight. Thanks for sharing.

A lot of antagonistic forces are there in life! Hills and valleys stay together as abundance and poverty co habit! Only God can balance these paradoxical forces! Profound thoughts!

you put a lot of thought into the structure of this poem and it paid off- - the poem is simple yet complex, harsh but lovely, but always faithful. Great write.
