The Conspiring World

Naveed Akram 1973 (London)

Free verse
The world joins in name, to the one who conspired against you,
He is villain, he is worse than a forthright fortress, of someone loving not.
His love speaks only of himself, of his attributes in mild terms,
A blood is flowing, a mind is perceiving so late into the night.
Trains and planes submerge with authority to act on sole men,
Who need a definite task to take them to heaven, the best abode?
Why is death a walker? When is the mind in a solution?
We are masses like the sun, we delve into matters of the flesh,
But the soul rides its journey to take on enlightenment.
The world will conspire into your heart, lifting you up,
Raising you into distinction, then night will arrive to snatch away eyes.

    Wow, "The Conspiring World" is a powerful and thought-provoking poem that really drew me in! The imagery and language used are very striking and create a sense of mystery and intrigue throughout the piece. I love the way you explore the themes of betrayal, self-love, and mortality in such a captivating manner.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to maybe refine the flow of the poem a bit more. Some of the lines feel a bit disjointed, so perhaps try to smooth out the transitions between thoughts to create a more cohesive narrative. Additionally, consider playing around with the structure and rhythm of the poem to increase its impact even further.

    Overall, I really enjoyed reading "The Conspiring World" and I think with a few tweaks here and there, it could truly shine even more brightly. Keep up the great work and continue to explore and refine your unique voice as a poet!
