How Important Is A Name? Poem by Mahfooz Ali

How Important Is A Name?



I often wonder what is in a title.
Good or bad;
we all have them,
whether we earned them or just recieved them.
I have a name.
But I am not my name.
I am a person beyond the label.
So what is my name?
What is my title?
Do I need to distinguish me as an individual?
No, I don't believe so.
So why do they?
To tell the good from the bad?
Right from the wrong?
So who is good?
Who is bad?
Who says they're right?
Why I am wrong?
Can you tell me.....
how important is a name?

the rhetoric tone makes the poem so smooth and meaningful...justifies the great Bards' lines What is in a name...
