Professsional Poem by Sathya Narayana
Professsional
It is his loved profession
...as good as any occupation,
indeed a damned lucrative one!
Yes, He is a born politician!
People bowed him; not known
whether it's fear or devotion
...but made he name and fame
and amassed wealth aplenty
ample for his progeny
to guzzle for generations many.
Earns he easily his yearned goals;
votes or any profitable posts!
He expects nothing free to fall;
ready to pay in full to all;
be it dhal or alcohol
sari, dhoti or a cotton shawl...
payola is his way to enthrall!
To deal with his criminal trials,
hires he witnesses; those are professionals.
For his public rallies
engages he rowdies; those are professionals!
To erase his enemies
employed he in permanence
personnel; those are real professionals!
One day died he of a spell
of unknown virus; doctors knew not well!
His son as a true scion did deal
so nicely; like a true professional!
While he got busy reading his father's will
entrusted the weeping menial
to mourners; those were professionals! !

This is an interesting poem from several angles. First the title, 'professional'. Nice The content further implies that those who are 'professional' become so at another's disadvantage. It is as if from the eyes of those dismissed by those who deem themselves professionals. The 'depth' of this poem also syas this as well: 'Do unto others as it will eventually be done to you'. One can not make claims to be of service to others when, indeed, you have used them for personal gain. Nice poem.
I HAVE READ THIS POEM...NEVER REALIZED TILL I SAW MY COMMENTS..WHY...IT IS SO HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN..AND WHAT A PATHETIC NATION WE STILL SUSTAIN AGAIN
Payola like the envelopes in the baskets in the bathrooms. Funny, how politicians can magnates people.
A very nice piece, with a neat twist at the end, pointing out the emptiness of his life.
I like yous too, Sathya. Thanks for reading The Politician. Regards Ron

This was well structured as a piece of writing and more than not hurting the writing, it actually helped it. This was a wise and intelligent composition. That, more than anything else deserves the acclaim. A wonderful 10. My compliments to my dear friend, Sathya. GW62
