Stupor

Life has a meaning if you wake up from stupor

Procrastination will not help you achieve goal

days pass, years waste away, making you a loser

wake up before time takes a worst turn, death bells toll


When there was nothing there was God who created

A beautiful and pristine world for man to live

Be a vicegerent and protect the ill-treated

To be kind towards all to forget and forgive


Work to live, live to work is a motto well served

Stupor belongs to the Devil, fans his ego

Some rest after a day's hard work is well-deserved

Work without required sleep results in vertigo


So, wake up from ever deadly stupor my friend

Take up unfinished tasks to give meaning to life

It's never too late for an evil soul to mend

If not, words of evil and slander will be rife

Great poem is about the importance of waking up from a state of inactivity or stupor and taking action to live a meaningful life. The language in the poem is straightforward and uses fine diction to convey its message. You use literary devices such as alliteration in "wake up from stupor" and "years waste away," as well as metaphors such as "stupor belongs to the Devil." The use of religious imagery, such as references to God and the Devil, adds depth to the poem's message. Well done

Thank you Sotto Poet. I loved your analysis. In India, where I live, which is not a native English-speaking country people are still not into metaphors and figures of speech. I wanted this specific poem to be read and understood by most Indians on the different sites I had posted. Your insightful comment is highly appreciated. Thank you once again.
