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.
