Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted Poem by M. Asim Nehal
Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted
How often we see this board
"Trespassers will be prosecuted"
On private properties
On agriculture lands
And just imagine, what if
We see such board,
which is already hanging
and only our soul can see
our conscience can realize
and every signs in nature hold them
and we do not heed and transgress
Are we not suffering?
Global warming, deforestation,
Aids, immoral acts etc.
I doubt whether good sense
in us prevails or not
or it is just another sign board
which we see and overlook
because it is worn out
hanging far away from us
or too intimidating
or is at the wrong place
and we move too fast to see it?
This is fantastic. You've written something very good, here. Probably shouldn't mention aids- -maybe change it to the Zika virus. I'd add a few more things about nature- -rise in extinctions, vanishing bees, sea level- -take your pick. Aids is a touchy subject, nowadays, and it's inclusion in this poem makes the author appear homophobic, but it's YOUR poem, so I'll not say any more about it. Aside from that one complaint, I love every word of your poem. An inspired piece, well-realized.
~Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign. A line from an American song from the 70s called Signs Your point is well taken
