Malice

Listen to the story of an innocent boy

He bought birds to share his care

They were his passion and not any toy

Lovely little birds were source of joy

Their songs brought children from far and near

Listen to the story of an innocent boy

The birds din't like who came to annoy

They enjoyed melodies of songs on prayer

They were his passion and not any toy

One day a jealous youth made a ploy

He dropped poison into the feeder

Listen to the story of an innocent boy

The dirty youth learnt only to destroy

His nasty act brought tears and despair

They were his passion and not any toy

Malice of people snatch away joy

Let's hate their ugly and  sinful affair

Listen to the story of an innocent boy

They were his passion and not any toy

It's very sad to see people filled with so much negativity, so much hate that they take it out on others. They lack love in their life, so they become envious and resentful towards those who has it.

People can be so cruel. It's hard to understand their thoughts and why they would be so evil but unfortunately it's a part of life that never goes away. Well written poem Zainul.

[PearlPoet]

I loved the message and the spirituality that your poem sends here until the fallowing line:

"Let's hate their ugly and sinful affair"

hate will never solve a problem but to create more despair...
