Desire Not The Undesired Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

Poem by: Freeyad Ibrahim

Do not obligate people other than their nature,
and what otherwise is required,
so you get tired of the length of reproach,
and wired.
And they too get bored and tired
You fail to reach what you have firstly desired

That is the same as to order a beast
To stop eating his prey when hungry
And tired

Man behaves like what their ancestors
accustomed to behave
And how they were inspired
Convert not..alter not in nature
Even if they divert from the
general norms and values,
Values which were so long admired,
This will remain limited and shallow
And even undired
