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

[Aethereal]

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.

[zainul]

Thank you Aethereal for the sagacious statement.
Yes, to gloat over an ephemeral advantage is a foolish activity.
I am very glad that you have taken time to read and review to enlighten all of us.

Negativity can be just as contagious as positivity, we all need to spread out positive thoughts and emotions to those who struggle to be.

[zainul]

Thank you dear poet for stopping by to grace this piece.
I appreciate your great comments.

[Cassie]

Yes I agree with you on the last stanza, its only hope but truth is this people mostly never change.

[zainul]

Cassie,I am very glad that you stopped by to grace this piece.
I agree with you that such people mostly never change.
However,these people may sense from this discussion that most people hate their manners.
So,they may think to change for their own existence.
Otherwise they will be socially boycotted eventually.

[Lourisa]

Such true words, zainul. Such people indeed hurt innocent hearts and can scar them for years to come. I like the positive, compassionate note on which your poem ended. Well written

[zainul]

Thank you Lourisa for taking time to read and review the piece.
You have nicely explained how such people hurt the innocent hearts.
I appreciate your lovely gesture.

[Lydia Shutter]

Oh, if only that would happen, my friend. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people in this world who feel they are better than others. They feel their possessions or their looks make them a superior class. It is a sad state of affairs. You have such compassion flowing in this poem, Zainul! We could all benefit from a little more human kindness in this world. A lovely write. Lydi**

Thank you Dear Lydia for expressing the mean attitude of a section of people who don't know how to honor others.These people do not get honor because of their attitude.
Thank you for stopping by and glorify the conversation.

This is wonderful, zainul. "Good manners make good friends." I agree, but it's shouldn't be the only reason. Everyone should have good manners so that they will not hurt anyone around him/her....because everyone deserves to live peacefully in this world.

I salute you with this piece!

[zainul]

Thank you dear friend for the wonderful review and thoughtful comments.
I agree with you that everyone should have good manners and everyone deserves to live peacefully in this world.

[Dhaye]

You're welcome.

An amazing message and a beautiful way to be. The world has this funny habit of looking into it's neighbours bowl to make sure that they don't have more than them. Instead they should be looking into their neighbours bowl to make sure that they have enough. I hope that people will change one day, but until then it's up to us to show them by doing! Great piece

[zainul]

Thank you for presenting such a nice opinion.

jealousy is a wicked virus, I hope love will purge all some day. These beautiful words may just be the way.

My Dear Writing Friend,
This creative write reminded me of what my mum told me as a youth. “Pick your friends wisely as you may become as they are”. Good friends truly care about our best interest. All others should be shed is how I view this. And if we live a life of kindness to ALL those around us will be a light in a world of darkness.
I liked your write.

Blessings, Laughing-Bear

My Dear Friend,
I am very glad to see your pleasant presence at this place.
I express my profound respect to your mum who still guide you with her wisdom and pragmatism.
You have strongly advocated in favor of kindness to ALL.
This is really a great message for us all.
Thank you for stopping by to grace this piece.
Have a nice time,Dear Friend.:)
Blessings,Zainul

A beast in the shape of a human knows nothing of the golden rule. They are too wrapped up in themselves and what they see as their "riches." Many in this world are unkind and have plans to change. We must treat each other with dignity. Good message in this poem.

[zainul]

Thank you for presenting precious contribution.
Your points strengthen the need for treating each other with dignity.
Thank you dear friend for stopping by to glorify this piece.

[Joiedevivre]

ah i do understand so well what you say here. I have found, the key is to treat everyone with the same goodwill and kindness regardless of their appearance, status of influence. The world is more balanced and the emotional nature of people calm and content when they are not constantly served up their worth by others.

[zainul]

Your interpretation enlightened me immensely.
Thank you for stopping by to grace this piece by your admiring review.
