Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

" THE UNKNOWN " MY PHOTO, ©

Beware of the Beast

We all pride ourselves because we live in the year 2021 

A year in which humanity so much progress has done


Violence and hatred we thought were things of the past

And war and terror, we believed, were not possible to last


Then a moment comes when an appalling act takes place

That makes all of us look ourselves in the face


Then we realize with much horror and a lot of disgust 

That the beast Man carries within, may turn the world to dust!

Michael Tor October 23, 2021 at 4:54 AM Mankind is doomed without our savior stepping in and stopping the continues madness that we have always brought on ourselves. Never ending Demetrios since the days of Adam. Wonderful piece hope you are well my friend. Lost my precious father September 26, 2021 when I see your face it reminds me of him for he looks almost identical to you,..

Paulette Calasibetta September 19, 2021 at 9:07 AM There is much wisdom in what you have beautifully expressed. A truly sententious poem, I hope you consider entering it in the Anthology.

Tom Cunningham September 19, 2021 at 1:09 AM When I look back at history and read about massacres and other atrocities that man has carried out against his fellow man I realise that nothing has really changed and that we haven't really learnt from the past. Power, greed and evil feeds the beast in mankind. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis September 19, 2021 at 1:45 AM I agree with you, my friend, Tom. We repeat the same mistakes, unfortunately, we are running out of time and in a little while there would be ...no future for Man to repeat anything! Thank you. God bless you!
