The Black Man In You

THE BLACK MEN IN YOU 

Have you ever dreamt about the black men in you
You may have not , as about him you never get a single clue
I open to you today , about the black man I say
Who is more villainous than the fiery sun ray

You may like a person
But do not show that in your action
You feel its your ego which stops you
RIGHT ! Now do you know the reason that makes you black and blue ?
The Ego is one of the black men in you

You may feel hatred towards someone
Is this A disease for everyone ?
FABULOUS ! you made it 
Its not a disease exactly , you think because in you diseases sit
The Hatred is another black man in you

You can't vent your anger
Could this result us in great danger ?
WOW! What a guess 
Anger may result in bullying
So - Beware - your anger is a part of the black men's hamper
YES ! The anger is the next black man in you

You may be affected by jealousy
But it does not mean that you are too lousy
Is this another evil friend ?
GREAT ! You are speedy in your guesses
Jealousy is the fourth black man in you

You may be greedy
But never think it will help you always , Mr.greedy
So it won't help us in anyway ?
PERFECT ! Too smart
Greed is indeed the fifth black man in you

You may be a character of 2 faces
Do you want to convey that this is one of the worst menaces ?
INDEED ! You are correct 
Being partial and acting as a good human is indeed bad
2 faces is the sixth black man in you

You may not be able to control your usage of abusive words
Do they lead us to killing roads ?
OMEGA !! Too quicky
Its not only a bad character 
Usage of abusive words is the seventh black man in you

Never commit sins
It is also a black man in you 

You may be a miser
Its a bad habit 
But why ? Is it a crooked behaviour ?
KUDOS ! Indeed
Crookedness is already a bad man 
A Miser is the crooked man's great fan
Have you got my hintful clue ?
To be a miser is the ninth black man in you

Now comes the head of all black men
These nine men I have told you of are part of the black man's pen
Are you speaking of revenge !
WHAT A MIND ! Indeed
The black man who haunts your image and your soul even after death is
REVENGE

The black men never come to end 
Unless you throw them fully out of your heart's bend
The day you throw them out
You are great in this world - even if you are stout

Remember these black men I told you of
So that you can shut their entrance off

Abolish black men out of your pure heart
So you can get a flashy , bright start
