CONTENTMENT, by AL-TUTILI First Line: Leave wealth where wealth is found Last Line: Until you bare its blade. | |||
Leave wealth where wealth is found, To folk who boast it's theirs: It is the battleground Of all superfluous cares. In avarice and greed No longer be arrayed: The sword cuts not, indeed, Until you bare its blade. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INSCRIPTIONS: 1.
