I glorify men 
Placing them high on a pedestal 
Where my father fell short
The bar is in hell 
And the bare minimum are the crumbs I live off 
Satiated from nothing and empty promises
An illusion of fullness 
As I see myself in half
As I saw myself in half 
As I stand here with a

A LAMENTATION FOR THE FALLEN PEDESTAL

In days of yore, when wisdom's mantle shone
Teachers were revered, their honor like a throne
Despite meager pay, they earned respect and fame
As bookcraft wise men, guiding learners through life's maze and flame

Parents held them dear, as pointers of truth and light
Learners treated them with care, in morning's golden light
Teachers respected themselves, as models of virtue

Paper Faith Pedestal

The brain is an instrument of improvisation
suffocating in an ancient bone cave
with its white and gray byways
garnished in electrical blood drops
creating great works though time pressed
and pressurized.
It is also a weapon of mass deception
pods of oddness always plotting 
endless deep blueness and innate jealousy
a DNA staircase decorated in ornate self-centeredness
prone to God mocking and demon

On the Pedestal

Aint no shame in crying
the whole time you 
been lyng
tryna get me
to be on your side
this aint about no money
and I aint mad
with you honey
it's the first time
it's been me and you
don't act like yo hands tied

Don't mind me saying
cause you know I aint playing
what we gone do
since it all
on us this time
don't leave me

St Kabeer Couplets 7: What If On a Pedestal Tall

What if on a pedestal tall?
As if date trees that tall are,
Shade to no travelling soul,
And hard to fetch, fruits grow far.

Bada hua to kya hua, jaise lambi khajur,
Panthi ko chaya nahin, phala lage ati dur.

Forget, name and fame and rising tall. Lame adjuncts indeed, Kabeer says. How useful are you to others? That

Pedestal

Funny isn't it?
The day I don't save your seats.
Suddenly I'm a ghost,
It's the day you start ignoring me.
And I realized you never truly cared about being my friend.
None of my efforts mattered in the end.
It was only those front row seats.
Sheesh.

I'm still pricking my own finger by letting you in.
You've only broken me before and

Pedestal

Put upon a pedestal thin as a razor blade 
where you must balance precariously
for the higher it’s raised the longer the fall
It’s simpler to say and do nothing at all
It’s far too risky to care
to put yourself out there
You slipped once before
perhaps you were pushed
It left a nasty scar 
which is quite a coincidence
You’ve never

Pedestal

You float on high
In my sky
I abide.

You garden me
frustrate me
I am weeds.

When I see you
I see truth
I see through.

When I see you
I see through
I see truth.

The Painful Pedestal

You’re on your own pedestal and I can’t reach out to you
You’re standing tall while others fall behind you too
Sorry if I let you down, but you rise from the ashes somehow
You ride the flames of your passion while I drown in rain anyhow

I’m the best failure you’ve ever had
You’re the worst success and it’s

O Statue On Pedestal

Pray Bapu1, we’re in plastic age,
Stay happy installed, tall on stage.  

Too bad, your birthday prayer meets,
Rows of stark chairs staring in rage,

If your spinning wheels still rotate,
They just spin for a page-three page.

Your ideals may well still be there—
Safe and secured, captive in cage,

When so I see your smiling face
On a wall, O

Pedestal

I was told that love is like holding somebody up on a pedestal.

The problem with love is that it’s being misperceived & used as a poison that is damaging our cerebral.

The path of memories is still unforgettable.

But for some odd reason though,
We still feel the need to convince ourselves that love is still able to

Pedestal

I'm the glass half empty 
For you I'm never full
How's the air up there where you are
on your sky high pedestal? 
I use too many paper towels
I put the cap on wrong 
I'm wearing too much makeup 
How could I like that song?
My poems are depressing 
Who taught me how to drive 
Is that what

You'Re Not On My Pedestal

You're just higher then most.
Your creativity and intelligence set you apart,
from others met coast to coast.
We are much alike in heart and soul,
Does it really matter if we don't like to bowl?
Intimacy was all I wanted when we first met.
But that all changed after playing the first set.
What I started to feel within,
 made me

Pedestal

The pedestal you set me on
Is getting battered and grey
Even cracked in a few places
Supported by a wobbly leg

The consequence of this pedestal
Is the distance it creates
Leaving me standing here, watching you 
While my tattered heart waits

Waiting for the love we could have shared
Adventures of life we were meant to share
If merely the distance from
