Death of Poetry

Poetry embraces fatality,


When the poet digs for ornaments,


That the poems are adorned with adequately,


Yet finds he none.


 

Death of poetry,


Means the death of the poet,


Something none ever expects truly,


Yet such moment does arrive.


 

Poetry breathes its last,


If the poet is not neutral,


In his mind-set that being utterly unjust,


Poetry loses its essence if he writes for fame alone.


 

If there is no sense of duty,


In the heart of the poet,


Towards the society,


Then poetry becomes a room with no windows.


 

A poet must write,


Whatever he feels like,


The good taste and art in it should ever be bright,

 

Should ever breathe.
