A man in name alone.
<p>A Man in Name Alone</p><p><br/></p><p>(a poem by)</p><p>Albarka</p><p><br/></p><p>O, staggering man from our seed,</p><p>O, man of the present creed,</p><p>You sleep through dawn’s honest cry,</p><p>Let duty rot and purpose die.</p><p>The hearth is cold, the house alone,</p><p>Your weary wife, turned to stone.</p><p>You shut your eyes to her silent strain,</p><p>Yet feast, well-fed, on her hidden pain.</p><p><br/></p><p>O, gentleman drenched in sloth,</p><p>Early risen for idle talk.</p><p>Work—a relic you now disdain,</p><p>While peers drive forth through sweat and strain.</p><p>They ride in triumph, bold and fast,</p><p>Their wounds behind them, honour vast.</p><p>Some now lie in quiet graves,</p><p>Some limp, but still remain brave,</p><p>Still on their feet, they push through dust,</p><p>Threefold their effort, driven by trust.</p><p>They know the sting of hunger’s bite,</p><p>So they press on, into the night.</p><p><br/></p><p>And you,</p><p>You call yourself a man?</p><p>But you don’t even meet the span.</p><p>You touch the shallow, call it deep,</p><p>You barely try, then claim no sleep.</p><p>A man, you say? You barely stand.</p><p>You are but shadow, not a man.</p>
