Philosophy Of The False Dawn Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Philosophy Of The False Dawn

Rating: 5.0


Again and again
Human race is being misguided
Is it a reality or just a fake refraction?
When light pierces the black sky-
Only my world is being illuminated
Why is it still dark-
Where Dollar, Pound and Euro rule?
Why light hides herself-
From the eyes of the mighty west?

Wake up Kamran!
Look around your enlightened soul
Listen to the trumpets-
Of the embryonic spring
That is crying aloud-
For the paucity of budding flowers
Cautiously hear the chirps-
Of the perished sparrows
They are moaning-
For the lack of water and food
And chew the perplexity-
Of the soaring minds
Which are craving-
For more and more

Every morning we wake up
And leave the bed-
Of heavenly desires
To fulfill the appetite-
Of our burning stomach
Some get the best reward-
Of the minor struggle
And most remain deprived-
Even after bloody perspiration

Then again dark engulfs the dying sun
The mighty west gets brightened
And the unworthy east
Falls into transitory peace
Destined to rise once again
From the trance of ephemeral dawn

Its a false dawn at the east while the sun always shine's upon the west....If the world is one society the west is the almost perfect high class, and the east seems like middle class...with its own miseries, short commings, and a struggle on day to day basis waiting for the dawn of change...which seems never to come.! ! ! ! ! ! ! A multidimensional vision...this poem is! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

great piece...great thoughts that touches the reality of life..... the daily routine of the dawn....then only to find out that life doesn't change for the better...as what reality is showing us....but something to be thankful on every dawn in our life is that, we still find ourselves breathing....we are still alive with the grace of God...and we still struggle to continue to savor every sunset and every dawn in our life.... your piece leads us to reflect.... 10++++

great philosophical piece woven with nature images and wisdom...Thats the reality about life....we are created with desires and motivations, being affected by the caused, as there's light in the day and darkness in the night, all in balance though ironic in a way...Great poetic composition...10+++
