Communism Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Communism

Rating: 5.0


I observe and I ask why?
Always silently,
and I watch silence of the sky,
then I speak loudly.
I asked the waiter,
"What's your salary, by the way? "
"I am working here for tips only,
no salary is paid to me in any way."
Pass life if you can in the mighty grips only.
My pen was filled in with blood,
on the white paper of the nature,
my heart in pain and eyes in flood
still in red letters I read the story of a forced adventure,
I am speechless but my scurrilous pen,
wrote, so is the sky and so are the men,
write was erased by tears but paper turned red
asking if life on the planet has been misled?

(I understand why communism spread in certain areas of the world.)

The concept of communism is at least somewhat valid. The practice is almost always abused by the powers that be.

This is a story true all around the world. The working class is always the one without a voice. A fine poem Mr Jawad. Thanks for sharing...
