False Poets (Haiku)
The story behind the poem “False Poets”
Once, I was
going through Peter’s Epistles, both first and second, in the New Testament. I came to know, or should
I say, I came to learn the existence of false prophets. These prophets endeavour
to establish the religious orthodoxy without any morale or without any moral
standpoint. They try to contaminate the religious beliefs with lots and lots of
hypocrisy. However, suddenly, a thought struck my brain that if poets are
called prophets, this statement can be applicable in case of the poets also. That
is to say, there are many poets, also known as prophets, who claim to be really
full of, abundant with foresight, insight and so on and so forth. But are we
all true poets, for sure? This question applies to my case also. Not only that,
but also this same question is applicable in case of each and every poet too. The
basic prophetic vision is symptomatic of modesty, truthfulness and honesty. Hypocrisy
and lecturing will add fuel to the fire instead.
