All That Glitters Is Not Gold Poem by Aftab Alam
All That Glitters Is Not Gold
Imitating innocence with the essence to fool,
If, known to you, disclose not; be calm n cool,
Their number is quite high, virtuous soup lapped,
Be ignorant of their act, thus they are self slapped,
Soapy tongue within trapped dream they hung,
Sprouted angel, masked face, gaudy song; sung,
Stormy mind, yonder ye find, at devils far flung
Scorpion is far better than them; deadly stung,
They are kings and queens of their world of dream,
Devilish whisper they keepeth with angelic gleam,
Better to have miles distance from the inferno fire,
Un identified faces around us, delicately a bit higher
Just mark then, unmask them, and beware of such soul,
They are not friendly to humanity but for their own goal

Deception can be found even in the most so called beauty of a thing. Always good to look before you leap. Very good advice.
yes that is the true, brother and the must important battle of goodness is to kill the beast inside us so that will make the number of wolfs decline in us and thanks again for your good stand for yours and for mankind may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless you

It has a philosophic depth.It as well is soul probing.It well crafted.The melody is also nice. Keep up the good job.We have a lot to learn from you
Straightforward and honest depiction of some who are full of themselves and wanting to have everything, to the detriment of others. Seeing through their illusions and beneath their masks, watching your own back all the while. An excellent poem about the evils of some men, Aftab. A very good message you have written in this poem. Thank you for sharing it. RoseAnn
