To A Puppet In The Dust Bin Poem by Akhtar Jawad

To A Puppet In The Dust Bin

Rating: 5.0


The puppet is dancing on the stage,
the crowd is enchanted by the colors
how sexy are her costumes!
While dancing,
her art of exposing her appealing body,
is the need of the slaves of the instincts.
The song and music being played
behind the scene is hypnotizing
suddenly the thread is broken and the clever player
replaces the puppet fell down on the floor.
The gone puppet had great expectations,
it thought the crowd loves it
and will rush to the stage to re-join the threads.
The rejected puppet in the dust bin is crying
and remembering his lovely time
when she ruled the hearts.
Sweetheart!
You ruled the hearts but you lacked a heart.
For a heartless dancer there are only whistles of the moment.
See the excited crowd whistling on the exposures
of the new dancing puppet.
Learn to live and love with a loving heart,
the crowd will rush to the bin to bring you back on the stage,
and the queen maker will become helpless before the crowd.

This embodies a great message in it! However charming a person be, once fallen he/ she will be dumped into the bin! But the fall of one with a humane heart will greatly be grieved and people will rush to save him/her come out of the dumps! A Wonderful poem!

Beautiful poem with a great message. It doesn't take time to replace old one with new puppet. The stage is same but puppets changed. Loved the concept.

A great message has been delivered through a puppet touchingly and astutely. How a person feels under the leadership of heartless person is astutely painted. I quote...... You ruled the hearts but you lacked a heart. For a heartless dancer there are only whistles of the moment. A marvelous poem shared.
