A Stage Necessity! Poem by Ramesh T A

A Stage Necessity!

There is a vast difference speaking with friends and strangers!
We are at ease and free to speak before all our friends forever;
But speaking off hand before a new audience needs skill sure!

Winston Churchill's advise - 'audience are fools, one should think,
When speaking on stage' comes to mind to have confidence, if
One has to speak before a new crowd with learned hosts ever!

Feeling free to say whatever one has in mind needs great practice;
This requires knowledge, conviction, confidence and courage with
Some skill to deliver speech complete sans hesitation anywhere..!

Knowledge makes one a ready man, conference makes one a
confident man and writing only makes one an exact man and hence
Many speak on stage, but none can do so to write anything free!

Whatever be the thing, a thorough and confident mind only can
Speak, write and execute anything extempore anywhere at anytime!
