Seen By Many, Known By Few Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Seen By Many, Known By Few
By many a man seen, known by few,
Came on like a comet, bolt from blue,
To love a president
Rest of life to repent,
Now hates be a wide-eyed twenty two!

At 41 today, Monica Lewinsky does not want to be twenty two again. For, she was shamed, humiliated, called ‘that woman', and gawked at in her twenties like no other girl. She had made a mistake of loving a president of US while she was a White House intern. But who at that age nary a mistake make, she has gathered courage today to ask.An unfortunate girl, seen by many, known by few, understood by fewer still.

A fascinating limerick that dwells on the scandal committed by a powerful President and brought havoc to the White House and caused the impeachment proceedings against the Presidency. A great lesson in life....Both parties have to face the consequences of their acts.
You are right, and still the powerful Prez got away with it relatively lightly, but she suffered all life for her indiscretion. Thanks for your insightful comments.
