R I P… Always! Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

R I P… Always!



(re post)

Dear readers!
I decide
To let go my rating box
Virus or attack what
I do not know; it leaks
What is the use of
A democratic ballot box
In a hunters' land where
Lawlessness rules over?
Your comments are
The ratings best
I ever received
And valued most…

Therefore, to my little box:
I tell you I let you free
Or you let me so be…
Good bye!
Best of you;
For the service you did
Over my poem page
Till this day,
A big thank you;
For, you did serve me well;
But for the attack
You would have lived
More on my poem page
Now…R I P…always…

Seems like a lot of our top poets are being hacked and their poems deleted....

Yes Sir, I am in full agreement! I loved the comments made by Premji Premji! In Bologi.com, poetry section, the Editor decides which poem is to be printed! There are no ratings! Earlier few of my poems featured there and one poem - 'Not My Choosing', was selected as poem of the week! But there it is difficult to interact with others and they have a dozen 'pet poets' of their liking! ! With best wishes, -Raj Nandy

You are a awesome writer like SHakespear but I am lacking to Intellegents (misspelled) to be able to understand to loving poems which you give forth.
