We Are Not Actors! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

We Are Not Actors!

Rating: 5.0


when millions of our ancestors died for the truth,
when millions of them never acted in their life,
when millions of us work hard with our only face,
who told that world is full actors and actresses?

memorized scripts are repeated,
repeated verses can be recorded and edited,
The director vision is visualized,
Rehearsal can make the scenes perfect.

we live a scene only once in real life,
no directors, editors and the script writer,
we live our life with emotions and blunders,
we feel every moment that is not felt by the actors,
who told that world is the stage and we are the actors?

who told that world is the stage and we are the actors? William Shakespeare did in a worth reading context. I also contemplated many of these questions you pose, life questions, life 'Set On A Smaller Stage'. The real question is, what part will we choose to play in life?

Except for the No, you did agree with my points The point I want to reiterate here is that our life is not rehearsed earlier to live later just like the way the real actors do on the stage, other than this we have the natural props in every scene and we are costumed depends upon our status, but we feel the pain which the actors don't have to. Under such circumstances how can we be classified as actors? TAR, the last line is meaningful, thought provoking and funny...
