A microscope's sharpness is destroyed
By corrosive rust
Iron's tensile strength is lost
By animal lust
Man's moral fibre disintegrates.
Amen

lorencinoabout 7 years agoI'm not sure about the sentiment expressed though. Still, can't deny its nifty.
Ashesh9about 7 years agoAuthorThe 'B' in the beginning and the 'ust' at tye end of the first, third and fifth line came together almost sublimally to form 'Bust'!
Also 'bust' signifies destroyed, lost and disintegrates all the three operative verbs/ engines od the second, fourth and sixth lines......
Ashesh9about 7 years agoAuthorThanx a million : your valued opinion on Poetry means a lot to me !!!
greenmountaineerabout 7 years agoThis is good, Ash. Very cogent. Some think poetry shouldn't preach but display. Generally, I agree with that, but when it does "preach"(for lack of a better word)IMO, it should do so with a sparse language and sharp images which are apparent to me in your poem. Well done; they kept me focused on your message.
