A Philosophy On ‘use And Throw’ Poem by Vidi Writes

A Philosophy On ‘use And Throw’

Rating: 5.0


Don’t ever complain –
‘They use me’
Let them use.
What are you born for, else?

If a time comes,
They plan to throw or throw!
Take your position
Now, it’s your theater.

Show is on - you are a performer
Since beginning.
It’s up to you, how much you reach
From that stage, to the audience.

The more you make sound
You will be read
The more you are silent
The show is on and you can read.

it is a paradox. poets write, as they have thin skins, feel more with great sensitivity. writing is like meditation. once you have written and posted, then one must show some sportsmanship. that requires thick skin, you have to take brickbats with accolades. Criticism if healthy, should be taken in stride, if not best ignored. every thing we take up has occupational hazards. I expressed my views on this in Hunter or the Hunted. YOU HAVE WRITTEN A THOUGHT PROVOKING POEM, in your inimitable style on a sensitive issue. 10 Mamta

To use and to be used. Life is a stage, a game to play in life's stage...interesting philosophy to ponder on debatable theme...well if we allow people use us then we should never complain. However, we are just letting those people abuse us and tolerating their self interest...Hence, they won't learn from their mistakes...its like growing old without wisdom at hand....Thanks! ! ! 10+++

So is life; when the wrong thing is done. But, let us seek for the ways of the truth and live in peace with each other. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A Socratic write, indeed, Vidi...and my sentiments as well.Too many of us pass-on opportunity either out of the 'ole proverbial ''fear of failure'', or worrying too much about not living up to others expectations of us...We are reluctant to take that leap of faith...that calculated risk, ergo....we become inmates of our own make-shift social prison, we recluse, and in doing so, we never realize our maximized potentials.Sometimes we must be bold, and take a firm stand... politely yet with unfettered conviction. We need to voice-up and let others know we are here...and want to be part of the show, so to speak....My Dad always liked to quote a very old cliche which i am sure you have heard before: He'd say: ''Don't stand on the corner & watch the parade pass you by, Frankie''...''Let them know you belong with the marchers'''. Excellent penning...Message well delivered, young lady! F j R

The concluding lines are thought provoking. I think even silence can be read through silence. More of making noise can amount to noise-pollution, yes?
