Devil Poem by Abdul Wahab

Devil



From market
I bought a mirror

It is not
An ordinary one

It has a magical
Value

If you see in it
It will not reflect you

But your inner core
When I saw first in it

I was frightened
As I saw the devil in me

It is huge one
Yet till date it remains in visible

As I never wished to be
Yet I am

It comes out into
Open when I am in anger

Or driven by
Greed and lust

Or in me I lack
Confidence and trust

And I keep claiming
That I am an angel

But now the fact is clear
That I am also an owner of an animal.

Just like the mirror our minds can give us distorted views of ourselves. We have to work at clearing out those things that add clutter to our lives and only until then we will be able to see the light. Very inspiring.
