POETS
Teachers of all teachers
Who teach the whole world
By dipping their pens
To the innermost bottom of all hearts
Teachers of all learners
Who spend their time
To extract wisdom from their land of thought
I cannot see a  world that will beam
At the exile of their scribble
Teachers of all teachers
That bury tantrums
With the torrents of their inks
And give elixir by drawing fable

Rulers of the rulers
Who rule by commanding Senses
To succumb to their obstensible pleas
Rulers of all rulers
That wash away the imbroglio
And make the world pious
Through the torrents of their tiny dancing pens

Painters of all painters
Who paint the sky blue
Indigo
Purple
And make all in a perfect glance
Painters of all painters
Who paint the world
With white and red

Tall story's tellers
Who tell a story of the Greek
Through a line of poem
They say you are Appollos
They say you are Zeus
I say your story is tall
Tellers of all

Farmers of great Farmers
Who farm wisdom
For all to roar in custom
Fall to soar loudly
Farmers of great Farmers
Who plant the seed
That disperse in brains
Great farmers

Poets who dip their pens
To tear off cowardice
Who force their pens
To pour the rivulet of water
On a white paper
And wash away vice

Great orators
Who speak through a tiny tip
Great orators who put their minds
To the mind of every man.
