When a poor exposed
His feeling through pen
The crucifix he shouldered
His stomach pain
How does the poem look?
When a farmer tried
To write a poem about how he feels
On how the sun touches his skin
On how he survived every arrow of the clouds
What the poem looks like?
When a carpenter, vendor, street sweeper
Wanted to write a poem about their lives
Their battles and journeys
On how is it to be like them
What do you think?
Definitely, their grammars are full of blames
But who are we?
Are we better poet than they are
Because our grammar is lesser of flaws
Are those people who are
Too good in grammar
Are the only one who have the right
To hold a pen
To be called poets
What matter then
The correct grammar or the meaning?
The correct syntax or the emotion?
The correct spelling or the honest intention?
Not everyone has a gift of education
But everyone has a gift to feel
There is no wrong on expressing
To define life into words
No matter who we are
The feelings that we have
In spite of our shortcomings
That is my belief
