Pigeon. Poem by Sundaram Krishnaswamy

Technology is my enemy.
Email is my foe.
I have lost my job.
But I am not the postman.
I brought the messages for you
and delivered it in your home.
You have forgotten me.
I am standing in front of you.
Yes... Yes... it is me.
Without a job, eating the grain.
I have become fat.
Please take me to your home.
I will be a friend to your children.
Tell them my story and introduce me,
'This is the Pigeon,
Which carried messages to the Kings and the lovers'.
