HUNGER AND A POEM .....
HUNGER AND A POEM ..... The child asked his grandfather- What poems are ? Are more valuable than the meal ? Twisting the head Grandfather said- Yes baby, it's precious Because poetry comes from the mind And meal from the soil Through hard work and sweat. The sweat and hard work Have no value here In our society ! But my son- Don't be a poet Never; Because poetry dine the appetite Can't never erase the hunger Hunger doesn't suit a poet Who plays just with words ! Some people grow words And some foodgrains Know first my boy Who is practical- Paddy or words ? @ Ekbal, 30-07-2023.
