The weeds

weeds are always a problem for the crops

To gain  mastery,the weeds,

Invisible in the field earlier,

Compete,often, overpower the crops,

Oh ! struggle to uproot the weeds 

Care constant, high vigilance,

Make the weeds recede 

Still, be in wait, not losing the grip

Again to up shoot. 

' What a difference' , amazing

No attention,no formal input,

Yet, the unwanted,from all corners

Spring up one by one.

' The land  likes the weeds'

Surely suspected

Yes,may the instincts be so.

But how obstinate one is.

With two eyes to two side,

Crushed with one hand the enemy,

Held up ,with the other, the harvest,

Smiles,peace,joy at last.

I loved the line..."the land likes the weeds" :)...to me this spoke of sins or vices, imperfections that we are always seeking to weed out so we can have a fruitful harvest. Cultivating the ground is in so many ways, an apt metaphor for living.

Weeds are a nuisance, growing more than other things. A nice poem, Sayed.

[SAYED THANGAL]

Although it is an ongoing issue, I like how you have conquered the enemy (weeds) in the last stanza and ended the poem in a positive way.

Smiles,peace,joy at last.

[SAYED THANGAL]

[Frieda P]

The earth would be desolate and bare without weeds, they are survivors in the truest sense. Enjoyed this one sayed.

[SAYED THANGAL]

I add one more thing to this, the mind is blank and pure when one born, later evil thoughts spring up as weeds come out, thank you for your observation.

[Frieda P]

So true....

[Tam Warink]

Such is the struggle of life in whatever form we choose to see it. Animal, vegetable or mineral. Humans are animals too, aren't they? Beware the weeds of dawn e're thoughts upon them fawn.

100 peaceful smiles

[SAYED THANGAL]

of course you are right, I mean here the struggle of an individual against evils, that come as weeds to the crops, make a minute observation , for corrections if there any thing,
thanking you, sayed

[Tam Warink]

Do you ever wonder at how it is that one comes to have an understand of good and evil? Do you think humans are born with this or is it "learned?"
