Analysis of To feel frank



It is nice to feel frank globally
But charity begins at home really
We must educate people and part the knowledge
So they clearly understand about an outer edge

It is not the lack of understanding
But surely the pain unending
Poverty is raising head and creating anarchy
Even though monarchy has been taken over by democracy

The draughts and floods now play havoc
As if nature has it plenty in stock
The politics too play in formidable part
The humanity is given go by from the start

See the spilling of human blood
It is cheaper than the food
Any body can be slaughtered in day light
The shine and fabric is just lost to fight

Illiteracy and religious fanatics rule the land
Vast area is submerged under fear to send
Conflicting signals on reprisal basis
No one can agree to such out dated thesis

We are governed by national interest
It must serve to its peak and as best
But not at the cost of destabilizing other countries
It enhances chance of another war and adds misery

Many statesmen talk of global brotherhood
But they engineer trouble in their own neighborhood
Not only endangering security of the homeland
But elsewhere too create more trouble lands

Millions die of starvation
Where as tones of food grain is thrown in ocean
Only to keep upper side of the price
Are we not playing with cruelty with promises?

Local population is aware of politics
They know how it is being played with statistics
Truth is manipulated to rouse the sentiments
There is dangerous underground movement

Global scenario much more explosive
Not only individuals but all must remain active
Build public opinion in favor of bond and relation
Then only in true sense may emerge some indication

Hasmukh Mehta

am an ex-serviceman from Indian Air force. I joined Oriental Insurance Company and retired from there too in May, 2007. I have been graduated from Punjab University. I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard. I am writing on many sites so as to be associated with reader friends all over the world. I am thankful to all those who have supported me in my initial days. more…
