People! Be bold and don't be scared, <br />Speaking a foreign language with your own flair, <br />Don't be frightened of these people, <br />They are neither multilingual nor intellectuals. <br /> <br />People! Don't be diverted when getting comment, <br />Crumbling your hopes and aspiration to be the great poets, <br />They may not have sufficient knowledge to differentiate, <br />All native speakers of English are not qualified.<br /><br />veeraiyah subbulakshmi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-non-native-speakers-of-english/
