It's A Crime Poem by MAHTAB BANGALEE

It's A Crime

Rating: 5.0


It's a crime
if my education and social status make me egotist and entice to humiliate others

It's a crime
if I wear the mask of modesty rearing immodesty inside

It's a crime
if I call and show others the pious path making self only as convener

It's a crime
for donating to religious works I earn money illegal ways

It's a crime
when I make me a pilgrim to holy religion places
and after returning I become desperate to take previous revenge

it's a crime
for a particular religion or belief hating another religion or belief
and for the sake of certain religions avoiding universal humanity

It's a big crime
for recurring misdeeds if I ask forgiveness again and again

Profound message in your poem. It is indeed a moral crime though law may not hold you for misdeeds. Is it also crime if such persons are taught lessons in their own ways they retort to is a big question to answer now. They only way but which such persons will learn is to boycott them and let them alone. A great observation about the prevailing evils in the society in general and in PH in particular. 10++

I am sure creativity of genuine poets is getting affected due to such unacceptable behavior. Let us continue our good work without giving heed or air to their fire.

Very beautifully written. It's a crime If I fail to correct It's a crime If I persist to mistake It's a crime If I am adamant to change But it's never crime If I accept and repent And it's never crime If I try to change And it's never crime If unintentionally I repeat again. Good words.
