The Two Instincts Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Evolution couldn't eliminate completely
the animal within man with the sharp claws
sincere efforts of great thinkers,
framed from time to time many laws,
to control this animal, to make us Angels,
but time always found in it many flaws,
men who chained this animal in a cage,
became ultimately a victim of its jaws.

How we can get rid of our instincts,
imitation where outclasses education,
change education, make it so much mighty
that it starts outclassing the stale imitation,
keep the soul and spirit of the law you follow,
make it a discipline for man's perfection,
we know there are many flaws in the laws,
and we know the beautiful art of selection.

But fear and greed of an unseen apex,
ruins the seen valleys between mountains,
we look for the water of life on the peaks,
ignoring neat and clean water of the fountains,
drink it and have a bath of love in it
its water of love mental health it maintains,
be beautiful and carefree what may be at apex,
will not harm the man if this beauty he sustains.

Being helpless before the nature's instincts,
we can make the beast a friendly pet,
give him his favorite food, love don't hate,
I hope within a short time the beast will be set,
but if sometimes it becomes abnormal,
keep ready with you a metallic grilled net,
keep him hungry and thirsty for some time,
he will twist his tail hoping food to get.
