Manner

Manner

A Poem by zainul
"

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.

I loved this with it's strong pull even from it's first line. As I trad through the poem, I felt a bitterness towards the person who does this, and how they should change for the better. This poem signifies that anyone who does this should change. Manners are always needed, no matter who you are. I love how that the message of needing manners is brought out while reading this. This was brilliantly don.

I love that you wrote a poem about these types of people and I too hope that one day they will "wake up" and starting putting something more positive out into the world instead of so much more negativity.

I love the two stanza structure and rhythme of this, and the honesty in your words. You do a great job of revealing the cruelty that some people carry to make themselves feel more important than others. I too "hate those who find joy in humiliation". I really enjoyed this piece!

I forgot to be critical and mention that manners is the singular form of manner in English :) manner would be the way that you go about something. Manners is the value that you put into that action

Your words ring true. I've always lamented the loss of morals and ethics in society, which is quite manifest in many of our regular dealings with people. Jealousy and sadism run rampant, sadly, as you have described. I believe everyone feels a little jealous at some point in their lives, but they should take that as a challenge to push themselves more, and not to hate the other person. Thoughtful write. There are a few grammatical errors, but they may just be typos. Keep writing!
