Array ( [sid] => 16745 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Who am I [time] => 2003-04-30 02:25:00 [hometext] => In this poem I have tried to portray mankind in it's various forms, the good,the bad and the ugly. [bodytext] => As the images bombard me low and high,
a nagging thought irritates me; who am I,

I see God above dazzling in heavenly light,
and devil below ruling with stupendous might,
and a child suckling a mother's breast,
a poacher hunting a bird's nest,
a king decorating his kingdom in taste,
an aimless youth running nowhere in haste,
a gardener creating a breathtaking diversity,
a hoodlum raping a woman's chastity,
a bride giggling with an uncontrolled delight,
a widow existing in a miserable plight,
a honest man not knowing how to lie,
a politician siphoning funds without a sigh.

But then as I pondered over the puzzling litter,
the truth dawned to me; a little too bitter.
That each one I saw on earth and sky,
was none other; It was I.

Who am I

As the images bombard me low and high,
a nagging thought irritates me; who am I,

I see God above dazzling in heavenly light,
and devil below ruling with stupendous might,
and a child suckling a mother's breast,
a poacher hunting a bird's nest,
a king decorating his kingdom in taste,
an aimless youth running nowhere in haste,
a gardener creating a breathtaking diversity,
a hoodlum raping a woman's chastity,
a bride giggling with an uncontrolled delight,
a widow existing in a miserable plight,
a honest man not knowing how to lie,
a politician siphoning funds without a sigh.

But then as I pondered over the puzzling litter,
the truth dawned to me; a little too bitter.
That each one I saw on earth and sky,
was none other; It was I.

Thanx for your comment.I have always believed that man is the sole creature who is responsible for the good and bad happenings that we see in this world today and he alone can make it a better place to live.
