A Different Profession Poem by Amar Agarwala
A Different Profession
No one yet knows my new calling
Now that my profile has changed,
I reside in a cemetery
A settlement prearranged.
Once upon a time long ago
People sent their post through me,
My job was that of a mailman
Carrying mails was sheer glee.
The times have changed so I believe
As machines now carry mail,
Besides, they do other things too
And am told they never fail.
Glad that I am dead and buried
Happily doing a task,
Which no machine can replicate
For it's quite beyond their ask.
Been assigned to push up daisies
And I push up roses too,
Am sure no machine can do that
Whatever else they may do.
Machines make not a warmer world
They have not the soul to care,
I yet endeavor to do that
Which no invention can dare.

I must say Sir, you create a genre of poetry. Can be named as a BEAUTIFUL MIND. Your thoughts are just beyond fancy. A profession within the grave to nourish humus and breathe life, burgeon it tall and beautiful until it melts into the soil. What a beautiful thought it is!! Spellbound! Really nice. Thank u for those beautiful fancied thoughts carved into pitch bold letters. I would read it a hundred times yet never be bored.
Thanks Plabita, as always, you are such a devoted and ardent reader. Would love you to be present in my next launch of poetry. Hope you can make it.

Machines make not a warmer world They have not a soul to care, I yet endeavor to do that Which no invention can dare. A sarcastic way to tell the world, this mechanising of the present world is not good for the soul, for love life... wonderufl message dear poet. thank you. tony
