Who Do You Like - Rat Or Squirrel? Poem by Ramesh T A

Outspoken words come from a person who had free heart and a open book ever;
Outstanding words come from a person who has profound ideas in heart and mind;
The first one is usually a public stage speaker belonging to drama or politics;
The second one is rare to find outside but only on paper in the form of poetry only!

Outspoken words capture the hearts of many instantly and do great favour to one;
But outstanding words capture the hearts of wise and thoughtful ones
And whose praises capture the heart of the creator and remember ever long;
Politics goes on promises till one comes to power to acquire what he has in mind!

Poet sees the world as a whole to find out who is true and great to receive
That precious words of praise that are more than any gold or diamond or wealth;
Poet is the king of ideas ever lasting to keep up the spirit of humanity high
And lives only for the well being of good hearts to compose poems to inspire them!

If politician is the rat, poet is the squirrel but both are more careful with their acts
Whether speaking on the stage for the pubic or writing ideas on paper permanent!
