To The Utilitarian Eyes. Poem by Nabakishore Dash
To The Utilitarian Eyes.
Laughter, playing a flute,
writing poems are not commodities.
Can a hungry man
feed on them?
Certainly feeding some one
is beyond their capacities.
In aggression
they can not be used;
they are neither bombs nor cannons.
When one is ill,
they can not be used;
they are not pills.
If one invents a gadget and
patent it, one can earn money.
If you write a poem,
you don't get any penny.
People with utilitarian eyes
think it is wastage of time.
But if you have been really
into it with meraki
the joy is intrinsic;
no need of any extrinsic rewards
in form of dimes.
Ecstacy comes from doing
some thing useless,
enhances your well being
and happiness.
Money can buy medicines,
but not health and cheerfulness.
Thank you very much for the attempt to uphold the aesthetic value of poetic creation. Though it can't fetch money instantly it brings boundless ecstasy that money can't. Great write!
Please read ecstasy in stead of ecstacy which is obsolete.
A very inspiring poem for those who love and write Poetry.
