And In An Instant You Become An International Poet Poem by Ravi Kopra

Not everybody
could be a singer
a musician or an artist.
We do not have the talent
and we admit our limitations.

But to be a poet,
How facile!
Just write some gobbledygook
in your second or third language
and put it on a poetry site that
makes bucks from ads;
your chamcha -sycophant- friends
or so called compatriot poets who also
write gobbledygook in their
second, third or fourth language
will read your poems and make
comments in adulations such as -

Such a beautiful poem
A poem full of wisdom
A well penned poem
I see God in your poem
God is love and love is God
What a nice inscription
Congratulations for the poem of the day
A very nice collocation
Wonderful rhyming of said and dead head,
So nice, so interesting, so remarkable;
And in an instant you become an international poet
writing in a language you hardly understand
with 500 words in command and no grammar whatsoever.
How wonderful!
