I
I swear by God
On whom
I am yet to place my faith….
I swear by my mother
On whom
I am yet to place my love….
I swear by the nation
For which
I am yet to shed a blob of blood….
I never swear by me
On whom
I have placed everything I have……
Welcome to a2k shahjahan.You poem is fantastic.It also exposes our lip service to the ones we appreciate and our devotion to the self.
I'm glad to mote that your "I" is a probing I.
Thank you, K.VEE.Shanker.
The I is the observation of the leaders(!?) of India. They will swear by anything except themselves.
Very nice that you had read this one....
Please read other poems also and give your comments as your comments may be more relevant since you share the same background of mine - that is, India.....
Good Luck, Good Day.......
