Ghoul Poem by Kassem Oude
Ghoul
Parents threatened us by the ghoul
That lives they said far in the desert
It would eat us if we challenged rule
Strangle us during nights sans alert
The ghoul is a ferocious beast
Looks like hyena though uglier
Its sharp fangs enjoy nice feast
Fearful face and eyes full of ire
We're frightened by their pretense
We fulfilled blindly what did request
Without belief plus looked askance
They rotated us like slave with zest
When they eat we must stay away
For we could eat a bit they look for
Or should we stay home without fray
When they wander out we'd ignore
Now we're grown-up and recognize
Ghoul's fictive and it will never exist
Our fears vanished and truths arise
Ghoul's not alone, roll down the list.

Parents use clever ways to keep the children obedient. Sometimes they scare, and sometimes they threaten the children. And it is usually effective. Children tend to believe everything they are told. But as they get older, they start to think for themselves and realize how they were lied to. But when the children grow up and become parents, they do the same thing with their children. A very entertaining poem, Kassem. I enjoyed reading it.
