A pen can

How poet can be useful to world family on large scale
He is floating in sea like big creature and called whale
The giant creature has long sea lines but to surface for fresh intake of air
The condition for poet too remains same to prove his class as fair

Lot many ideas emerge and assume the shape of poems
Hi sown soul melts to take true form as root stems
It may try to scale popularity height with class of gems
Some may be appreciated with distinct class and framed

It is life time work and has to find the way to reach all over
It must be backed by real enthusiasm with protective cover
It should never happen that poets are starving for the want of encouragement
There should be left no room for excuses or arguments

Many poets die of hunger and face poverty beyond imagination line
They are unable to meet two ends and can’t properly dine
It is greatest tragedy never heard of but it stands fine
The poet has his own taste of creations and serves as wine

He may have his own fantasy and world to live in
He may try to be part of glove as always has been
He has the obligation to remain fully alive to the situation
He has the purpose in life for constant flow with continuation

The world can’t be won over by wars alone
It can’t be wiped out by devastating force like cyclone
World has witnessed humanity crime during world war
What we are today is pursued and constantly asked for?

Limited assault or surprise attack may yield some quick result
The humanity may suffer and face the unbearable insult
How to assuage the feeling of wounded and instill the confidence?
It is not one time exception that can be termed as simple incidence

World needs exemplary and stable and durable order
No goal should remain of tall order or shorter
It has to have reality in it and to be realized by all
It must be responded by all sections as emergency call

The poet can sharpen the writings with infusion of his skill
It may have killer’s instinct but no malign intent to kill
It may have long impact with far reaching consequences
The powerful states can see through reasons in its presence

It is pen that is mightier than any other lethal weapon
It can forewarn of any struggle that may be called upon
World has witnessed many bloody wars and revolutions
It has still not found satisfactory answers or solutions
