The Stubborn Stain

The soap
washing the cloth
scrubing with fervent might
yet dirt remains .

Soap consumed,
suds swirling round
but the dirt
does not go .

Then,washing remained
as an art only.

When the poetry,drama, ......try to reform the society the poets and artists.... are like soaps consumed in the process yet the dirtiness in the society rather increasing.So poetry and drama remaining more or less for the sake of poetry and art......
