My Cravings! Poem by Abdul Wahab

My Cravings!

Rating: 5.0


Dreams keep people awake
Memory makes man cry
Hope helps them to be alive
Love nourishes life.

Benevolence increases the grace
Coveting eats up your flesh
And a lie can make your life a hell
And life has a long story to tell!
Hypocrite seals his own soul
Just to meet the end, is his only goal
Trick is the weapon of the fool
Trap is the tricky man's tool
Fear is the real foe of your talent
Steals you from being a brave and gallant.

Falsehood lives for a while
Cookies in a temporary file
Truths always turn around
Coward is easily cowed down
But I cry to keep myself safe
From the vices and the virtues I save
In the heart I always crave
How to be honest and how to be brave!

some favorite lines: Trick is the weapon of the fool Trap is the tricky man's tool Fear is the real foe of your talent Steals you from being a brave and gallant ....though i HAVE heard brave used as a noun, in a very limited way (as an American Indian [aka native American] warrior) , i suggest deleting a from in front of brave in the poem. i suppose cookies here are not coconut macaroons. ; ( keep your cravings alive! to MyPoemList. bri :)
