What's In A Name



WHAT'S IN A NAME

By the very feel of a baby inside the womb
People break their head in search of a name
Crossing the borders and nationalities even
They bring home a damn, in an idiotic craze

Like the race horses having very fascinating names
It is not sure, they win all the courses they run
Choosing a name that is big and different
Has nothing to do in the real life game

By naming my girl as ‘Marlin Munroe'
She cannot storm the hearts of men world over
By naming my boy as ‘Winston Churchill'
He cannot order a new world war either

Is production of a child, a magnificent thing?
Let him achieve greatness on all of his own
Once your flag is up, whatever be thy name
You are shot to the top of the fame
….with your new, new historic name

I think that it is the belief of the people having a famous name means, they may acquire the same kind of popularity. How many of them have succeeded! Nice poem!
