Full Man Poem by Sayeed Abubakar

Full Man

Rating: 5.0


1.
You love your children-
A good mother;
You love your husband-
A good wife;
You love your family-
A good homemaker;
You love your country-
A good patriot;
But still not a full man.

If you loved your children
And the whole world,
Your husband
And the whole world,
Your family
And the whole world,
Your country
And the whole world,
Only then
You would be a full man.

2.
You love your children-
A good father;
You love your wife-
A good husband;
You love your family-
A good guardian;
You love your country-
A good patriot;
But still not a full man.
If you loved your children
And the whole world,
Your wife
And the whole world,
Your family
And the whole world,
Your country
And the whole world,
Only then
You would be a full man.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Daniel Brick 07 July 2016

A brilliant poem of moral purpose! The repetitons within the poem highlight what you value and want to impress on our consciences. And the key repetition of THE WHOLE WORLD grows more eloquent each time it is sounded. This is a poem that is enhanced by a readingf outloud. But even read silently by an individual, it conveys a necessary lesson for our modern time, our WHOLE WORLD.

We can not be called human unless we uphold human values.Love, compassion., kindness, sympathy are some of the attributes that describe a true human being.Our love and kindness should not be limited to our family members only.We should think the whole world as our home and care for the well being of.the human civilization. Thank you dear poet for your inspiring poem on universal brotherhood.
