I want to be number one poet <br />But how to remain calm quiet <br />Something more important to write <br />Ideas clash and make simple fight <br /> <br />Consulted friend to execute the idea <br />Simply he laughed at my plea <br />Have you gone mad or insane? <br />Are you on land or traveling in plane? <br /> <br />Why to write to become number one? <br />Borrow few from here and there from someone <br />Add some few words with sugar coating <br />Resort to some unusual method and fake voting <br /> <br />What are you talking my dear friend? <br />This will kill poetry and bring an end! <br />It is better not write at all <br />Why simple waste for some body’s call <br /> <br />You will die unsung hero, <br />Nothing will happen and you will be zero <br />Your poems may be read posthumously <br />Sometimes it may be published anonymously <br /> <br />But this is ridiculous and unfair dear <br />If someone comes to know and hear <br />What impression they will have and bear? <br />Nobody bothers and no one will shed tear <br /> <br />So many have become number one? <br />They will be there permanent one <br />You may come and you may go <br />They will follow same but you may forgo <br /> <br />I did not heed to his advice, <br />Became on line but found surprise <br />“What the hell you are sending request” <br />Why not beg in street instead go for quest <br /> <br />I shivered for a moment and remembered <br />This was for asking trouble and uneasy to remember <br />How person could be so rude and impolite? <br />There was shock for simple delight <br /> <br />I really felt for those resorting to unfair means <br />It was not deserving and easy win <br />However they may rate and find top place <br />World may forget but loss difficult to replace <br /> <br />What are they trying to prove? <br />Is it for cause or self image improved? <br />Why does all methods needed for? <br />Poems mean poems and not open war<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/number-one-3/
