Is Hero Worship Good Or Bad? Poem by Ramesh T A

Is Hero Worship Good Or Bad?

Rating: 5.0


In olden days, king was icon, leader, hero and God and people obeyed to survive;
After democracy has come into vogue, people have become heroes and heroines;
But for many due to poverty and difficulties, many follow religious leaders and political icons;
Those bogus leaders using money play game in public using people as pawns!

In reality, each one in democracy has to think and decide matters for benefit of all;
For that, people should develop knowledge and intellectual thinking ability to know truth;
Even after acquiring, intellectual thinking only help all know truth to take good decision;
Later by practice, all will become wise to decide matters and strive to achieve objectives!

Hero worship was there for messiahs and personification of Gods in literary stories;
That is for making people to understand ideas but not believe those imaginary figures;
Good heroes may help and make people well and better to live live and do best work;
But cunning fellows in the guise of heroes exploit people to be in power to exploit wealth!

Real heroes may be taken as example for developing oneself to progress in work and life;
But blind workshop of hero or God will never make one developed in world life sure!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Heroes are not gods to be obeyed or followed sans any reason but good ones can be followed for bettering oneself only!

Part 2. Ambedkar, a critic of Jawaharlal Nehru, would have had him in mind when he said this. That apart, the statement is true.
