Pages From The Life Of Paulo Coelho Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

How had they been the parents
Of Paulo Coelho
That as for his intuitive living,
Novelty of approach and idea,
Opposition to traditional thinking and religiosity
Admitted him to a mental institution
At 17
And he escaped thrice
To be released at 20
A writer endowed with a faculty
So logical and reasonable
Questioning the existence of man
In this world!

Just for Catholicism
And being a Catholic,
Not a being,
Human being
Whitmanian
They could not,
Could not,
A genius
So underrated
Under orthodoxy!
