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 ?
