Y.... Strength Poem by Aufie Zophy

Y.... Strength

Rating: 4.8


The strong politician presents his own ideas with confidence
The weak one tries to find fault with his opponents

The strong business man presents what he wants to sell
The weak one breaks down the competition, you can tell

The strong scholar presents the ideology he believes in well
The weak one wishes other-thinking people to hell

The strong politician knows that races do not matter
The weak one tries to get votes by condemning others

The strong business man knows his prices are fair
The weak one feels the need to compare

The strong scholar gains popularity preaching all-encompassing love
The weak one tries to look strong preaching hatred and being tough

Anyone who is strong, will focus on love and togetherness
They try to learn more still, respecting differences

The weak ones will try to elevate the image of their own
by focusing on division and hatred and putting others down

The strong are gifted and original in what they do and say. The weak are mimics who blame others for their own lack of potential. Lovely words. Very true. Thanks for sharing.

I simply love it...u use all wisdom in your mind and creativity in lines, done in wonderful way. You use three subjects of different examples politician, businessman and scholar and each you explain who is the strongest and their personality..you repeat another examples of each of them again...conclude your idea very sharp..it so wise, inspiring beautiful and i really love it_Unwritten soul
