The Wonders Of Emotion Poem by Daniel Parker

Confidence is magical; it takes you to new heights,
It gives us all the will to fight a war,
To make our eyes just dazzle, to shine like tiny lights,
To make us have the heart to achieve more,

Beauty is appealing, it captivates the soul,
Just one look can turn a man to dust,
It makes an individual, make love their only goal,
Or are they just confusing it with lust?

Arrogance is deadly; it can tear a man apart,
The love for oneself, true, but at what cost?
The hatred towards others, can blacken any heart,
And only then you’ll realise what’s lost,

Laughter is a blessing; it can cure all but disease,
It simply fills the body and the mind,
Such a great emotion, it can captivate with ease,
It truly is the only of its kind,

Anger is a weapon, that can damage many men,
Not just others, but oneself is too at risk,
Hatred of another, can soon result in ten,
Like musical ambition robbed of the disc,

Emotions, they are plenty, all good, but also bad,
They can motivate, cast happiness and fear,
The only things with power, enough to make you glad,
But also so upset that someone’s near
