I feel elated and so proud, <br />Creative work speak so loud, <br />I accepted it as simple food, <br />Something to think and deliver the good, <br /> <br />You feel burdened when heavily taxed, <br />Evening at home with body relaxed, <br />Solution in sight with problem waxed, <br />Junior get promotion when senior axed, <br /> <br />I found honorable place, <br />Happy to feel with glow on face, <br />So much craze with heavy mad race, <br />Unworthy on top and leaving behind ace, <br /> <br />I had feeling with anger and hate, <br />Why so many tricks against fate, <br />What, if creative work is read little late? <br />Certainly it is fake with artificial rate, <br /> <br />I wondered what would happen? <br />Why not competition kept wide and open? <br />Emerging poets may find their due, <br />Wide horizons with broader view, <br /> <br />There may be many standing in queue, <br />Sad, helpless for the want of dues, <br />Sun may shine in their bright luck, <br />Relentless march and not sitting as duck<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-feel-proud/
