The Finale Poem by Naseer Ahmed Nasir

The Finale

Rating: 4.4


O, Great Magician!
Show your magic, show expedition
People are waiting
Waiting in a daze
Show them voodoo, muddle in a maze
Show your wonder, show your power
Show them a flower
Turning into a pigeon
Beasts are infesting
Your sacred region
Make them stop, bring to a halt
Deep into the earth
Plates overlaped
Move them a milli, fix that fault.
O, Great Magician!
Show your magic, show expedition
People are waiting
Looking for a glance
For this is their last chance
Show them an empty paper box
Turning into a white hairy fox
In their dark bare eyes
Light some fire, blow little pox
Waiting in unison, ready to clap
Stage is set in a houseful trap
Show your muscle, don't just dump
One small jump, one small jump
And a tiny punch
Reverse the damn universe
Show the final big crunch!

There is a very fine Italian novel of the beginning of the twentieth century called 'Zeno's Conscience' by Italo Svevo (it was a pseudonym) . I checked an English translation is available, I promise to the author of this poem an amazing reading of that issue. However regards to this author who reminded me of my great fellow countryman novelist.

deep...you have such talent describing the current invasions, the origin of natures disasters and most of all the belief by some that the sun will rise from the west due to the reversal of the earth...and GOD...so many things you touch upon but i've named a few...fantastic piece, thanx.
