Opulence Poem by Farah Ilyas

Opulence

Rating: 5.0


In the

Run after of craving….
Following of yearning….
Betrayal of wishing…..
Infidelity of longing….
Perfidy of hankering ….
Hunt of desires…
Fulfillment of passions….

I have learnt one thing;

Poverty makes people weak,
Still
They
Have sound sleep & meek
Accomplishment of which thing, in them formulate reprieve
& happiness deep?
Yes
Gratification,
Satisfaction & contentment are genuine lavishness.
If our thoughts starts voyage to deem.

Poverty makes people weak...................... What if I oppose? What if I do not agree. It makes them strong. Believe me it does Farah. It was a deep poem and the theme can be applied to any society.

Indeed poverty makes people weak as it narrows discretion. A well articulated and nicely penned poem. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.

A very beautiful write, Farah! The whole poem is lovely but the lines I loved most are- Gratification, / Satisfaction & contentment are genuine lavishness. / If our thoughts starts voyage to deem! Great philosophy from so young a mind! Thanks for sharing!
