A Politician Poet

Before becoming a politician I had a wish, an ambition Like that of a child Who saw the fields Half covered half open Weaker lights to understand Life and education Then poems were To me breathing air A space to ride Poets my hero The most intellectual I wanted to be like them But some one knitted my fate Though the threads were mine I become a politician Now I deal with Treacheries and lies Seldom find time For the inner intricacies of life But all are before meeting With a guest A visitor from no where But from my own life Sneaks into my garden And plays with me like a butterfly Now I give more time to her Than politics But poets never take me seriously as they think I am a politician and politicians treat me as Plato treated the poets now it is time to see how great is he the politician and how he saves the flower recently bloomed in his heart
