Man---------wealth.'A great truth revealed in your poem Madam Marie.

power of the flesh And lure of material wealth.

always there are conflicts between human and nature, and between human and human; but in the end the wiser would be the winner..very attractive theme accompanied by a wonderful poetic imagery, have a top mark and it goes onto my fav list...well done Dear Poet Rose ***full stars***

and avarice walks hand in hand in the mind and body of man. Foolish men will never learn for they are weak and defenceless. 10+ and many thanks Rose Marie for telling it how it is.1o+ and take care.

Weak is the flesh! But not your poetry, dear Poetess of truth and beauty!

I agree with your observation! Temptation is a powerful weapon against the weak and the unwary

The forces that sweep man off his feet are the temptations of flesh and the greed for wealth. Just as a mighty ocean submits to the pull of the wind, even those men strong at heart are swept away by the cravings of the flesh and the lure of money. An apt comparison!

Destruction! ! ! ! Mankind on earth, of material wealth. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Man is swept away By the power of the flesh And lure of material wealth.. comparing it with the ocean.. great imagination and truth of life. tony

Wind is the mind. Ocean waves desires. Insightful metaphoric piece 10+

Ah, what a beautiful coincidence! I said something in response to your next poem on ocean, and here it is. You say the same thing in your own inimitable style. Lovely.

Reminds me of the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” [Matthew 26: 41].......10+++

True and perfect. Thank u, dear poetess. anjandev roy.
