“They are sparing no effort to shake you off your pedestal”

“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.
