The Movement (Rhyme)

My 2nd effort for the blog in shape of a rhyme. I followed this lawyers' movement so thought should contribute by writing something ......



Here goes the rhyme



Something substantial that at last happened
and it all ended up in the month of the march
When the lawyers movement entered the final stage
and they planned a grand long march

it was to start from the major city of Karachi
they had plans to travel whether it rain or sun scorch
they were to reach Islamabad at any cost
whether to move in dark or use any torch

But the government had other plans for them
They acted like drought and tried to make the movement parch
But the political parties were out there with them
They presented full support and acted like arch

Few couldn't leave Karachi and others stopped at the border
the situation was getting more and more absurd
But the clever lawyers escaped as they changed the plan
like i in this stanza changed the rhyming word

The next destination was my Holy city of Multan
Things got a little brighter, which gave wings to the bird
PTI, Jamat e Islami and lawyers successfully put up a rally
Stupid was the government but it made them more nerd

They left for Lahore and started to gather there in numbers
Governor rule, 144, and what else could be done by little turd
Could plan no more, Could stop no more, could think no more
Oh how i forgot, he banned the entrance of Ali Ahmed Kurd

The rallies were moving to the GPO Chowk, but still no momentum
Leaders got worried, esp Nawaz Sharif and he purred
"I'm breaking the law and will lead u people, plz come out!"
That motivated the people and soon on roads there was a mini flood

Different leaders were hiding to come out at the right time
Shahabaz sharif, Qazi & Imran Khan hmmm the one from oxford
They wanted to take the reigns if one falls
not like Ali Ahmed who was at airport but not on board

Police threw tear gas, did baton charge to control
Even tried to stop them like a flock, like a herd
At last they had to kneel down to the people
They knew one never look behind if start to move upward

The great flood of people started to move towards Islamabad
The containers, the trolleys were swept like the balls of billiard
The government got worried, could do nothing except restoring
Even the tricks were not left with the Zardari Wizard

Kept people waiting and moving towards Islamabad
Hoping that they(the gov) could come up with some fraud
But it all ended up as they had nothing more to do or think
and at around 5:50am the PM played the real card

The judges were all restored, prisoners released and 144 lifted
The decision was not all that hard
People were Wishing and hoping to bring prosperity and stability
Praying all night to the Almighty lord

Public and everybody should realize what "people power" is
Never gets blunt its such a sword
one who ignores this thing
always gets hurt and ends up in a hospital ward
