Judge by The Time

Overview of the poem:

“Weird to be judged

Mercilessly by invented

History of ancestral

Life from the past history,” this introduction ways to the meat of the matter.

“But they forgot

That diversity and nature

Have classified them,” this part mirrors the argument and the mood.

“The history

Of divide and rule

Was invented

Some years ago,” defines the horrendous history

“And initiated by

The enemy of

Diversity and nature

They should realize

That the world has changed

Cohesiveness was the victory,” brings out cohesiveness warranted by historic diversity and nature keeping minds in that corner yet the world honours rights.

“World has changed,” means it’s not in support of the invented horrendous history.

“Being judged by history is bad

They should prove

The revolving history

Is wrong,” this brings out the argument vividly and summarizes the theme.

Irony applied

“For the peace divide,” contradicts the statement, ‘divide and rule,’ which stands as a puzzle.

“So misjudgment has occurred,” shows the concealed is in lime light so they think misjudgment has occurred.

These are not hyperbolic

·         Believe should be belief

·         Has should be have

This is because diversity and nature are two items though joined with a conjunction, ‘and,’ must take have in my opinion.

·         Remain should be remains

Because true identity is a single item thus goes with present simple(singular)

Summary of the poem

Even if truth is hidden, it comes to lime light in spite of reticence, whatsoever: better revealed earlier.

Weird to be judged

Mercilessly by invented

History of ancestral

Life from the past history

Their generations

Were born to that

Horrendous history

So they are judged by

That ancestral believe

But they forgot

That diversity and nature

Has classified them

Even if they withered 

Their true identity

Remain defined

The history

Of divide and rule

Was invented

Some years ago

And initiated by

The enemy of

Diversity and nature

They should realize

That the world has changed

Cohesiveness was the victory

For the peace divide

They enjoy today

So misjudgment has occurred

Being judged by the history is bad

They should prove

The revolving history

Is wrong
