Manner

Good manner makes good friends

Some love to compare and sigh for no reason

As if they are captive in the self made prison

They  always  try to measure others’ treasure

They feel jealous when others seem better

They gloat if others have less than them

And make all efforts to feel deep shame

I hate those who find joy in humiliation

They are like beast in the shape of human

Their manner hurts many innocent hearts

They are always merciless and harsh

I hope such people will change for ever

To live with others for friendly favor

Being a gloating fool is nothing to gloat over. No one possesses anything but for a fleeting moment. To gloat over an ephemeral advantage is a foolish activity. Even our bodies are incomplete copies of what they were seven years before. I count my momentary blessings and wish the same for all others.

Thank you Aethereal for the sagacious statement.

Great people build up others with inspirations and others ways and small-minded people will tear and humiliate others for hate , jealousy , bias and so forth...You are one of the great ones...:).........................

really good poem. Jealousy and envy is highly destructive to oneself and others in our path. We all need to embrace and appreciate others and love ourselves in the meantime. I look forward in reading more of your writings

So true! Our manner can be constructive or destructive. You ended your poem well, with a prayer for a change in manner. For that's all any of us can do... We can choose to be beaten down by the cruel manner of others, or we can refuse to buy into the negativity. And your poem triumphs over the negativity.

[zainul]

Thank you Mary for the words of wisdom.
I have been enlightened by your admiring review.

[Daniel Sala]

That's really nice, Zainul, kind and thoughtful words.

[zainul]

You are most welcome,Daniel.:)
I feel very much inspired by your admiring review.

"I hate those who find joy in humiliation
They are like beast in the shape of human"
I believe in the same thoughts as the statement above. Good manners allow us to stay away from bad situations. I enjoyed your thoughts and reason for writing the excellent poetry.
