POET'S SPECIAL...Can Writers Bring Change ?

Can Writers bring Change ?

All the great poets
writers and literary men
have laughed at this circus
...charged with their mighty pen

...the 'wild beasts' ...shameless
have never bowed their head
...when the 'arrows' were unbearable...
....have 'bound' them...instead !

All the grat thinkers
enemies of the 'beasts'
have been kept in some library
and jokingly called 'high priests'

The swords...the arrows...and
other armoury of these men
have been used as some toys
in the 'literary' play pen !

...and when the new hunters
come and write against the rules
...at first are ridiculed...
but if accepted...join the 'fools'

they too are bound in volumes
...kept on fashionable bookshelves
what they have said ...is of no value
but we quote them... amuse ourselves !

The unwritten fate of a writer
the unwritten law supreme
...is to be taught in the curriculum
...not to fulfil his dream !!!!!

Great poets...writers...thinkers ...and the like
will come...and go...forever
...they cant change a thing...
but shall fill library shelves...however !

I like this poem. Yes, we do like to quote writers and famous people. Sometimes, we believe it will make us accepted by others.
