Never ' A Different Show' Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan

Never ' A Different Show'



why do we put up with it
knowing well they are not right
why even the newly young
would'nt be a different thing

we do have a whole lot of them
mostly those who are offsprings
they are all so stuck with doing
'good' to the nation

not a different thought
nor a different approach
the similar statements
the similar contradictions

WHY SAMANYAN
WHY CRIBB SO MUCH
IF YOU CAN DO ANYTHING BETTER
WHY DON'T YOU COME OUT AND 'serve' THE NATION

this business of serving the nation
could not even be a dream to the ration
this profession of serving the nation
has become the costliest in this nation

not sam or 'any'
could come to the fore in this democracy
it is out and out a play of currency..and is done
perfectly even by the youngest in the legacy

the budding need'nt follow
the aged...well we know why they are doing so
in the process what we should also know is
we are never going to have 'A DIFFERENT SHOW'

I agree with you Samanyan that we are going nowhere.....the old stick to the old unacceptable ways and the newer aspirants do the same thing in a different way.....BUT I guess we should avoid getting frustrated or indifferent....in a small way each one can make a difference....I hope I am not sounding like a die-hard optimist....but I think it is possible, even if we make a change in the lives of one or two people - it will be something...better than nothing

'Why samanyan is not coming to politics? ' A question that has been troubling us since independence. The answer I think we can get from Cho Ramaswamy's Mohammad Been Thuglak. A good write. Samanyan pen lendi vanda asadharana mana kavithai

In this set up never one can show different one as it is out and out currency play only. It is true needing change from the education on. So, it becomes the duty of writers and poets to bring out the best and true things to all and bring about vhange in their minds. Best wishes!

I agree with you that every citizen should serve the nation to the best of his or her ability, if not, atleast they should not harm the nation in any manner.
