The Petty Poets As Journal Editors With The Hidden Agenda And Strategy Of Their To Promote Themselves Somehow Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

I see the petty poets,
The poetasters, rhymers, non-poets and commoners as
The journal editors
Indulging in mutual admiration and self-praise,
One calling another Virgil or Horace
Or Homer,
But where Aeneid, where Odes,
Where Iliad and Odyssey?

The small-small versifiers and rhymers editing journals
Calling themselves great poets and poetesses,
Even some have managed to bring out collections
As for to be poets or critics somehow,
But the common public know not these duplicate fellows,
How false and fraud are they
In their paper-presentation!

The editor of one journal brings out an article on the poetry
Of another editor
And as thus they keep on doing self-publicity
And propaganda
As for to be poets and poetesses somehow
Which to me is hypocrisy
And nothing more.
