Also Ran Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Also Ran

Rating: 5.0


He knew he could not win this game,
It's not for him what we call the fame,
The stars never wrote his name,
He's at all not shy, yes no shame,
Isn't it enough he's still in the game?
He's a running horse and he isn't lame,
In the newspaper you'll read his name,
Also ran a brownie from the east,
At least, at least, yes at least!

The brownie is a dancer, he dances in his words and lines and the way he dances is attractive and touching.

Another clever poem, Sir Akhtar. Beautifully crafted and insightful. Sometimes fame is given to us without much effort invested. Those who do the dirty work are insignificant
