a man's desire in life
each and everyone has some desire
these desires are endless.
the desire of love-power,
raised him high, very high.
the desire of indifference-power
ragged him down
beyond his imagination.
the desire of thought-power
killed his inner silence.
the desire of money-power
fooled him, his life, his all.
the desire of education-power
made him the best
that's why a man's desire in life
made him to see the world beyond.

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
Maya Angelou
Very good poem shows the real talent in you....
I made a small mistake
to forget her after 10 years
desires still lingers beyond her foot
when she smiled me kept scilent
when she laughed me put mask
when she admired me roared barring the limit
now after a long period
she disguise in my every walk
no, nothing powered me
but no desire ruled me
Within just 15 minutes...a great idea beautifully came out..!
Wonderful...great job! !
Hi. I believe the one who knows best becomes silent. Shallow water makes more noise. So thought power won't break the silence. I think it's a good poem. I like the powers that you mentioned and I like the last stanza the most. I'd be glad if you comment on my poems too. Thanks.
i like the ending part the most, the consequence is great and fine.
nice poem.
good and interesting...
nice lines
interesting and readable
cheers
all these desires ride the peope forward, without desires we achieve nothing, well written poetess.
he desire of indifference-power
ragged him down
beyond his imagination.
very narrow road we ride to power fails to gain
a true pic of the soul mind in words
he desire of indifference-power
ragged him down
beyond his imagination.
