From where I stand, I see a country
Bound in prejudice and bias
Not ready to let go of;
We need to be free first
To free another;
The question is
Just how much
Can She
Wait?

P.S. This is my first attempt at a Nonnet, inspired by those written by some friends lately.

I wonder too... 'Freedom'... The wait...
Profound thoughts madamoiselle. Very profound...
"Who is man, to stay the hand
Of those even the God's can't better?
A hero yet, takes the bet
To break the evil's fetter!"
So... We wait for that hero to come... Little do we realize we have a hero lurking somewhere within us.
You try your hand at so many things... :) Bravo!
Peace.

Congratulations on your engagement. Happy times ahead.
Sameera,
Did u mean - not ready to let go off...
Thanks Kartz!Lovely lines you penned there,reminded me of the song "Hero" by Mariah Carey :)
Why don't you give a try at writing a nonnet sometime?
Thanks a lot for the wishes buddy.God Bless!
No Priya,I meant what I wrote :)
beautiful and meaningful.
loved your nonnet to every bit. congo on ur 1st nonnet. :)
huggssss :)
Thanks sweetie :)
*HUGS*
Not just a nonnet but a nonnet with lots of sense and meaning, but what else can we expect from sami! :)
Thanks dear :)
wow..u r an epitome of brilliance moti ;)

Thanks Lambi! :)
*Ummma*
Beautiful and profound. I must say, India has lots of patience..she's been waiting for a really long time now.
Oh yes! I will! I better... :) And haikus too..! Kuch to naya karna hai...
Heh heh heh... Those lines were from one of my earlier poems: The Oracle Speaks Glad you liked it... I have not heard that song you mentioned though... Will hunt for it...
Peace.
I do not believe that infinite freedom is good. People need restrictions.
Free our minds :)
Nice one mate... keep 'em coming... cheers...
Nice Nonnet.. keep up the good work baby.. Love u.. ummmaaa
Whoohoo! Lovely work!!! Sameera!!! Good to be back, in another name from another blog. But its one same new-old blogger you one knew. ;-)

may be she has to wait for ever..

The glass through which you look will now be further cleared..and the view will be magnificent..trust me! :)
Kudos to the poem!

'I see a country bound in prejudice and bias'

Hi Sameera!

I think that Nonnet is for you.
Love and hugss
I have break in blogging,
but I love to visit your lovely and beautiful home.
hellooooo Sami! I miss you terribly =( I totally love your blog template! Gorgeous is probably to tame a word.
How are you? Hope all is well. God bless you always dearie.
Sameera your blog looks LOVELY... I loved the flowers and the colors.. everything :)
Coming to the post... it was like a realization... I guess it applies to all the developing countries... hmmm first attempt at a nonnet... still you did it marvelously :)
nonnet ..u take a lot of effort in ur writing sammy .thank god u enabled comments...as for the poem ..tumne meri munh ki baat chhin li..of course more elegantly :)

and for your last post... congrats and blogville really can do some awesome stuff :D
srry not been around much lately but not likin it myself u know :)
shall catch up soon...muah
Sammy!brilliant if I have to say so myself!!
So much I could pull out of this! makes me really think!!
Love ya sis!
Ne
you really play with words
and u really made feel like a manque
sometimes skills miss sense and thats what mostly i lack
and the picture itself speaks a lot
its a kind of picture which u see once nad then again and agin everytime you close your eyes and ever time you have a thought added to it
that comes with a very deep meaning. With all that is happening around us, we really need to be wiser right?
This is your first sonnet attempt? well, I would say, once a writer, always a writer. well done Sameera.
btw, I really appreciate you dropping by at each and every entry of mine that you missed. you sure are a sweet and thoughtful lady- love you for that! *hugs*
Also, wishing you Eid Mubarak... :)
you made me miss india so much
i still dream me running in the streets of my small town thise familiar faces and endless races and every tree with my traces
Its a matter of perspective, i say. The hero isn't born, Sameera. He or she, is made.
Time and again, whenever the need arose, a hero did come to the aid of the downtrodden and meek. This would be because, among the downtrodden little souls, a soul of immense power, strength and character lay, waiting for the time when it would be summoned into existance by the condition and situation that it passed through.
:)
Beautiful nonnet
Beautiful template btw, Sameera
:)
And i think I've posted my last comment Twice.
:)
My apologies
thats really nicely written n an apt topic too :)

the question is, just how free are we ?
Now that's some piece of craft you've made of those lines!! Fantabulous, indeed!! :)
We need to be free first
to free another..
Just like I say, to have more we must first be more...
Honestly, I more than loved the reality in your nonet!!
Anyways, see you when I see you... :)
Brilliant Sameera!
Everyone thinks they can 'Let go' but its not that easy. Often its misunderstood.
Ur nonnet spoke abt it well...we hv to free ourselves first in order to free the world.
*HUGZ* Im bak too :)

Inspiring words Sameera.The widespread injustice and prejudice is indeed an agonizing sad situation.
awesome sweetie..soowwy m so late..wasnt around 4 sometime..but now m back n hope to see u posting more stuff soon..muaaaahie :)))
The poem is definitely about India. India is at the crossroad of its existence. Together with China, Japan, the Koreas and other Asian countries, Asia is about to established the new world economic order. The high and the mighty America and the European Union have crumbled to the ground, victims of their own greed for power and money. But India has to change. She has to reemerge in her own pristine identity, one that has been the flowering of civilization since ancient times. Thanks for the great poem. God bless you always.
you've been awarded :)
Cool!
Merry Christmas and Happy New my dear friend. I wish you the very best in the world. I wish you happiness, joy, peace and love for your life. God bless you always.
Wow- just come across thsi via Nicky Absolute Vanilla- great stuff

nice verses!keep writing more!

The dividing walls that we, the mankind, have built up make us more unhappy. Before proceeding on any forward journey, we must destroy the walls of hate and prejudices.

Cool one SAM :)
Stunning template!
And beautiful poem :)
very well expressed...
Thanks Rajeev!Yup you should :)
well....i think everything comes in pairs ....hope and despair, love and hate.....its never been a perfect world and never will be.....utopia is just that..utopia!!!
so i think we shoudl start looking at the positive side rather thn the negative ones....
Very inspirational lines!:)
Thanks Yasmeen!It is indeed.
