My Country
By Farid Masood • Nov 24th, 2008 • Category: Misc • 13 Comments •A green piece of land
full of resources
fertile as a maiden
sitting like a lion on the world map
a lovely gift of God
ancestors left it early
guiding lights were not followed
personal supercede national
we want astray
in search of easy things
spring has gone
winter has arrived
looking for the livelihood
we didn’t put side
planning scarce
execution scarce
intruders have come
days are black
nights are flashy
who will pull it out
no one in the scene
no to stand firm
like a shade in high noon
mothers need to do it
from children to lads
fathers need to supervise
a nation’s frame work needed
an altered attitude required
a strong will will do it
done it wrong
correction required
actions than words
to sail towards silent waters

MR. FARID ,
A very good poem you have written.
i would like to share a poem with all my pakistani friends abt NATION BUILDING…………………as visualised by RABINDRANATH TAGORE………
Where the mind is without fear
By Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic wars;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

thanks for your interest, actually my old friend doctor sajid was my guest yesterday, i told him about my first poem, he commented using my PC, then today to put up my comment i didn’t notice his name on comments page and i pasted my comment, then i realized that my comment are coming the name of Dr Sajid, so i again commented with my name and requested TPS Admin to delete comment # 7.

Anyway how was my first poem?
Farid Sahib, the poem is nice, being the first fruit of your efforts, and the sentiments it represents are great. I envy your abilities and consistencies, keep up the good work. Frankly, I wish I could do something as nice as this!
Just an idea for your consideration. You should not be, too, concernd about applause. Putting together your ideas so nicely and so poetically is itself a great, great achievement and you must celeberate it, it is its own reward.
Again, keep up the good work!
Aftab S. Alam
thanks alot, a presenter may want applause, but if it is not there, one cannot stop writing.
