A reply…
What’s in a name, well writtten,
just mortals here to be forgotten.
What’s in a name, may I claim,
when you die nothing would remain.
A rose could well be called lotus,
distraction could well be focus.
A prince could well be a pauper,
a mantis could be named a grasshopper.
A name perhaps is just to identify,
of your worth define and signify.
A name sometimes could be a burden,
its a practice for what, no one’s really certain.
What’s in a name really does matter,
for you can’t call a holy river a gutter.
And you may ask why,
still be clueless till I die.
Let the prince be a pauper,
a dreadful robber be a preacher.
Flowers could be called a nectar,
what really matters is the character.

I am not what I say but what you perceive...
I am not what I give but what you receive.//
I am just a normal young fellow,
I am my true self when I am mellow.///
Revealing my self in my thoughts,
telling my state in varied words.//
At the end of the day I am here to fade away,
it's just a matter of time before I sway.///
To be dead and gone,
into oblivion all alone.//
Would leave behind these roads,
traces of me in the form of words.///
This in fact was a comment I was writing for Mr.Parekh’s,”What’s There In A Name” posted today. As I was writing words just kept on coming and turned out the way it is. So I thought I would rather post it…
I am sorry there are too many today from me…But hey some would definitely read.After all it is on the World Wide Web.
This is for all who are not concerned….
