I Am Civilized Poem by C. P. Sharma
I Am Civilized
I am a complete hypocrite,
I can hide Truth with ideas bright.
I am cunning, I am civilized,
Counterfeit truth I have baptized.
Naked truth I can't face,
I believe in stylized grace.
Of body's beauty I feel ashamed,
It conceals in tinsel attire framed.
Honey tongue and a heart of gall,
The world to me an easy prey fall.
Season's sense the sex has lost,
Its Nature assigned role is frost.
Nature's gifts I have moved to zoo,
From top to bottom artifice I woo.
Craftily the flora and the fauna effaced,
Them Teddy bear, fake flowers replaced.
On weekends the gardens don't attract,
For sunbath the beeches are not the tract.
Of time for these I am hard prest,
Casino culture is my sole interest.
For singing birds I can't pause,
My ears are now tuned to jazz.
Morning's freshness I forgo.
I am used to late night show(s) .
I am more ferocious than the beast
On Nature's burial I do feast,
Human bombs are my new feat,
All cruelties I now beat.
I don't look at my balance sheet,
How long shall I myself cheat.
I would better be a pagan now,
To nudist culture I shall bow.
The Buddha, the Mahavira and the Christ
With the naked Truth they had a tryst;
All embellishments they threw off,
The so called civilization they scoff(ed) .
Very, interesting and well thought out, too! I'm very pleased, to critique, for you! If you, could spare the time, I'd like you to read, one of mine. Now, I'll give you the names of two and hope, I will be hearing, from you! 'Two Hearts Together', 'Rebound'.
Glad to meet ya my friend You have been busy C.P. welcom to the show! Through your words I can very well relate to your state of mind unless what I read is also a counter-fit. And If so, I have no choice, but to read more, and I will, to better learn of one of my new friends10+++
I enjoyed your poem, dear friend, and applaud your use of rhyme. How true it is that the trappings of civilization are only skin deep. Too often the appearance of a gentleman hides the animal beneath.
Quasi or pseudo civilization... on the cross road we’re at… Swami. Vivekananda said Don’t intervene to society’s trend [doesn’t be a reformer] in R.K.Mission mission and vision …but he added also ‘Be’ and ‘Make’ …= humaneness... and as poet you did that... Sir it’s a very contemporary poem … 10+. Ms. Nivedita UK
The trait of being rude and impertinent; inclined to take liberties…self deception in finality. Indeed the tale of day. Ten++ dr.sakti. Please visit my page and comment 'Ultimating in Zeroing' a poem. ds
This world is far from civilised, I sometimes wonder if it ever will be....not in my lifetime anyway... Ruthy
The poem is very informative about today's civilization. You've reach us there! Good write, but it think it's better without the end rhymes. Keep writing and thanks for sharing your poem to us.

The idea is very good, the vocabulary is sophisticated, but I think that it would be better without rhyme
