A Demon But Still Honest Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

A Demon But Still Honest

Rating: 5.0


Wrathful, arrogant,
Ready to repent,
A demon but still honest;

Wrapped with raging lust,
Yet, one we can trust,
A demon all so honest;

Cruel, he did kidnap,
Fairness flowed on tap,
A devil and still honest;

Though born a demon,
Esteem of a sun,
For, a soul he was honest.

But masked as a sage,
In muck we engage,
Men, but demonic image!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
A thought on Dusserah Day. Ravan as the poem narrates was a demon, but he had some good qualities as well. But can we say the same thing about man? He is born a human being, but still hides demonic image.

Truly, an honest one is always better than a dishonest one. But an evil one who is masked like a saint is surely an evil that the society should shun. A powerful message, Aniruddha ji........10

Thank you, but you need not add 'ji' to my name.
