Poem
Being noble is good and desirable. Goodness is pleasant and noble virtue. When one is good and pleasant. It’s also true He should be praised in manner most noble. Praise,good and pleasurable experience, Shames me for I beg for it secretly. Man seeks praise deep in his dirty conscience So he is of all creatures most greedy. Greed is not a virtue. It is a vice. This has to be said quickly otherwise You, my black friend, may begin to forget Men that we are, can never be perfect. Liberality, to give; not to hold back. It’s opposite of greed. The liberal soul Shall by providence and fortune be fat. This age long truth is something we all know. Magnanimity, to help largely. Magnificence fuels the magnanimous. See what thing virtue has turned you-famous; With your name on lips you are yet to see. Courage means being useful in a struggle. It demands that certain laws be broken To achieve the good of a trod people; Piling sacrifices till truth’s proven. Heroism.Terrorism. Folks and strokes: See differently where they stand each moment. The world keeps talking even till it croaks. Yet east and west can’t come to agreement. About nine eleven and desert storm. The Bushes Being Laden with wars and strikes Are both heroes and terrorist alike. Each seeing the other in the other form. The wind that breaks the mighty Irokos, I will take my time, on these lines, to weave. Such that, your praise, all will come to know. Praise shames me giving or receiving it. Because (I know) secretly I seek it, Yet it’s altogether honorable. And for you today, I’ll take the trouble Such desirable virtues you possess. Liberality.Magnanimity. Nobility. Courage (I must confess) Gentleness.Prudence and Humility. What teacher taught you such wisdom to know? Fortune and Providence embrace brave men. Good luck and riches awaits the prudent. The heavens smile upon the liberal soul. They all smile at you. We all understand, Yet some may have for you a different song; That such and such you suppose to have done, But always remember. You are just man. These lines can go on spinning with praise, But let me reserve what’s left within For other future occasion and place Where they will with much nobility fit.
