Man In The Street Poem by Sathya Narayana
Man In The Street
I am just a man in the street
Who knows my stock, my stint,
My wait and my thoughts?
I see the world as world naked
The way it exists, manifests and acts
No one wears goggles to conceal his leers
Nor veils to cover his dirty deals
Every good, bad and ugly feat
Is gazzetted by my sharp ommatea
I see them all, in awe, sometimes smiling
Sometimes surprising and often despising
One casual stroll into a crowded road
I collect enough meat to feed
The hungry poet lurking in my heart
Every morning I wake up happy
With handful of boisterous letters
That rear to fly free into the air
To create all around, terrible flutters
Collect enough meat to feed the hungry poet - wonderful phrases in this work. A trip into your environs which is enlightening and verry well written. Keep up your poectic offerings Sathya, many people need to hear them. Greetings from Fay Slimm.
Zeal of aspiring poet with full of expectation and ambition is clearly ascertained in this free verse! Never leave such a mood everyday to fulfil your dream! All the best!
A man in the street has freedom to talk more than a man in powers for the latter should guard his tongue for fear of any adverse consequences when he spells a wrong word in public.
This is a nice & thoughtful poem! 20/10! When you get time, do read my - A Tribute To The Ricksha-pullers Of Calcutta - Raj Nandy

Great poem. You seem to be like an onlooker, someone who watches whats happening in front of you. Very lovely: -)

I was getting ready to give this one a 10 until the last verse. It was rather confusing and unclear in its meaning. So, I gave it a 9. The rest of it was simply wonderful. GW62
