Virtue Poem by Barry Middleton
Virtue
Virtue cannot defeat hatred,
but hatred cannot exist
in the heart of a virtuous man.
To walk the path of righteousness,
is much more difficult
than to climb the highest mountain.
We must not hide from evil,
but we must not meet evil with evil.
The reward for virtue is contentment.
When we see evil, we must confront it.
When we see virtue, we must praise it.
There are gods of wooded valleys,
there are gods of sea and land.
But truest virtue and salvation
dwells within the heart of man.
Great thoughts. Lovely flow of words n thoughts. An inspiring work.
Thank you very much Nosheen. It is so nice to have you as a reader.
Deeply thought out and with an excellent rhythm, well suited to the subject matter. lovely photo a bonus too. Tom Billsborough
I seem to be reading something out of the past, when virtue and other high valued qualities formed part of our better side. It was extremely pleasant to encounter your sage and well intentioned words on virtue, poem so well written and better absorbed.. So few true human qualities persist today, it is so refreshing to see some of them praised in such a beautiful way. A poem to be read and remembered and practised
Thanks for reading, rating and commenting Sandra. Yes, not enough people seem to know what the word virtue means.
