“If you are good at anything
There will be always people
Who like to look for
Chinks in your amour
If you make the mistake of
Being better than them
They will spare no effort.
To shake you off your pedestal,”
A professor told once.
Yes Sakthi, your mistake is Teaching and writing.
When you are surrounded by unwell wishers of meanest variety,
A kind of wolf in sheep’s clothing,
Who cannot even talk coherently
But judiciously and grossly abusing you
As a stepping stone for their success and survival,
You can only feel very bad and sad.
While the incredibly mad and terribly bad
Enjoy the heyday, soaked in misplaced arrogance
You can only laugh at the stupidity of the system.
They want to shake you off the pedestal.
Fools don’t know your aloofness and alienation,
Irritation and frustration
With that pedestal.
Those who prefer to live on beans only
Need not prostrate and bend, for any favor.
