I Write Because
Does little nightingale say the cause of her song?
I write; I do not know how long my voice will gong;
Does the peacock ask a favor from you to dance?
Don't all wild, when needed, their little mite enhance?
I thought, I will write to change this world; I was wrong;
Who reads these-days? Especially poetic song;
Does the elephant fail to trumpet when needed?
Poems, from time immemorial, proceeded...!
Pigs know, before time, appearance of the earthquake,
Crows caw before a guests steps in a little home;
When an eagle can any sleeping person awake,
Can't a poet, at-least, in his memories roam...?
Buds bloom; nectar secretes; bees and flies fly around,
Should not a poet, ultimately, make his sound?
