Tajudeen Shah Poet Classicism

Apple Vs Bullet

Millions of apples dropped, 
Before and after in history. 
Gravitation theory could escape 
The dark castle of ignorance 
Only when an apple knocked 
Sir Issac Newton's head. 
A decoy that changed an old notion. 
Many a political and social systems 
Must get such knocks to clear off 
Their dark notions. 
The mass of a bullet 
Can never compete an apple. 
But the speed could be fatal, 
For changes immediate and sensible.

Demetrios Trifiatis October 14, 2013 at 5:14 AM Unless apples are of a considerable size and manage to gather enough force they will be unable to make politicians think for the necessary apparatus of thinking is missing due to self-indulgence! Excellent thought! Tajudeen Shah October 14, 2013 at 5:20 AM Dear Bard, Thank you very much for the promising comment. wonderful. you are welcome. i still believe in the mass and speed of the bullet for the soulless politicians, if they do not want to listen to the nature and future of the poor innocent mass.
