Harish Palaniappan's

Peotry is an Art, sometimes abstract (so you don't understand), sometimes modern (so you derive your meanings & mark it research),
sometimes simple (as I would like it), sometimes humourous.. rhythmic, glamourous.. and all that.

They say, it has to be written by people who can convey a thing or two.. in a word or two. They say, it has to flow like a river or a waterfall, beautiful and themed with the context.

Uh!...Poetry is good, and honestly, I am not able to write too many motivating and encouraging sentences, to make you read my poem.. the one below that I wrote up now.

People call me nuts,
for I always saw things different, me and my guts,

They still say you wouldn't change the world,
but for me the world already looks different,

thanks to people who said things like 'Future is already there but in pieces',
so that their thoughts help me out of my recess,

people tell me, the world is big, go travel,
and then they say, its so small, sending an email is a marvel,

people tell me, take life as it comes,
and when i fail, it seems i didn't plan, and so their drums,

some more tell me, history repeats,
i heard india won the 1983 cricket world cup... it beats,

more keep telling me, eating pizza gives bad health,
after all these days, should i still eat rice for all my wealth,

a few more people tell me, Sir, do you want a personal loan, its cheap,
if i get irritated, i say, 'please leave your message after the beep',

some more people, aah..

they keep coming, they keep telling,
i knew this birth will be like this, i would have born a chicken, but they are now culling,

if chicken gets disease, they keep culling -to protect the rest of the herd, but,
when people get it they legalize it, and spread it for ages, calling it 'telling'.

- Harish's poem this,... why are you yelling.

Source of inspiration for the poem: A friend (Thanks JP) sent me a mail with this Einstein's essay, it was more like reading poem of philosophy than an Essay by a scientist, and had advice to look at world differently (yes, one more document where Einstein motivates)...
The thing is I read the Essay Poem at 1AM IST with half-eyes, and kind of got the required poetic hang-over for this post. Now read the poem again, and you will feel the hang-over part of the script in it.
