The Tragic Flaw

a poem by Satish Kakri

Men obsessed with a tragic flaw
Should learn more of character,
Not law!
Shakespeare created
Tragic heroes great,
Wisdom did not dawn on them, sooner or late.

Credulous King Lear, Macbeth, Othello,
And others of the kind,
To their own, tragic, suicidal
Flaw; they turned their eyes,
Blind.
Do not overlook,
But must find
Don’t let the ‘flaw’; your life, malign.
