Nimble Mind Poem by Naveed Akram

It requires a nimble mind to conserve one’s strength,
Hardened by a ready wit, the body can adjust its wavelength.
The strong set of shoulders are what it takes,
Believe me, the words are strong when the word makes.
A head is the good of the soul, the very heart
Bleating like the lamb’s, forcing the part.
We believed in nights of continuous blackness
To alert the help of friends who worked with abruptness.
The nimbleness of a mind shall be with an able-bodied man,
Whose acid is made on an appetite of his clan.
