# # Hierarchy Is Anarchy

Rating: 3.4


I FOR ONE
do not believe in
hierarchy

a must to manage
may be so...
for smooth authority flow
and that is just a role i play
once finished with it
i should cast it away

HIERARCHY IS ANARCHY ELSE WHERE

In other planes
creative or religious
hierarchy is plain anarchy

a TAGORE and ME
why aspire?
he is more than me
he is less than me
i am at par with him...all these
why compare?
does not get me started even

in the religious plane
you and me were not born to follow
if so..we will not be so endowed
a person who follows will want to lead also
REALIZATION is a kiss i get from god
it makes me humble as a pebble

in that 'HUMILITY'
surprisingly
i deter from both
a leader and a follower
we are not born to follow
if so..we will not be so well endowed
we are so well endowed with
the leader within

HIERARCHY IS AN ANARCHY HERE

Tagore and I agree 100% that's what it's all about using the inner ear to hear the poetry that your own soul whispers. Go Sam Go! ! ! ---10

I love the 'hierarchy is anarchy'. You know if Tagore were here this very moment, you know that he would concur with this. It is one of the sublime qualities, of all the true souls, that they recognize no innate inferiority or superiority; to them it is like saying, that blossom over there is beneath these, which are in full view at the front door..nice writing.

Everybody would agree with you. Nobody is a leader nor a follower. Thrusting up the values - nobody would like it. Yet, we must understand that there are certain values that are to be followed for a better, peaceful living and when somebody gives us advice or guidelines for that, we must listen him with full attention. There must be an evaluation of better values for a peaceful coexistence. When great seers are giving us guidelines for this, we must certainly try to follow them. Freedom is an individual view but following values has got its own dividents. To follow a person like Swami Vivekananda - it richly pays dividents. This is the point.

A well worded statement and I could not agree with you more...levels in cleverness yes but not in the person. The inventor of anarchy is dumb for his next level is dumber....... Eye opening poem ++++++10 regards
