Kalidas- - - (Shakespeare Of India) Poem by Aftab Alam

He was cutting a trunk of a tree,
Sitting on that side, which falls,

A Wise man was In search of a fool,
He spotted the scene, went near,
And said, I was in search of you, dear,
He was a chosen fool, and
Do you know who he was? Put your idea
"He is known as Shakespeare of India"
The wise among wise- -
- - - - -Kalidas- - -

Initially He was fool,
Later a great wise man

Why I am telling this story,
Picked up from history,
When any one acted like fool
We use the saying,
Lo! Here is one more Kalidas,
What society has accepted?
His negative act of ignorance,


Now I see, flood in many places,
Scarcity of water,
Water level is going down,

"We must have the water harvesting"

Lest we have a war for water as now,
We are having war for liquid gold,

Are we not a member of this holy earth?
Are we not cutting a trunk of a tree,
Sitting on that side, which falls?

We all are KALIDAS the ignorant,
And not laureate, the later Kalidas,

It is easy to laugh on other's folly,
Why can't learn to be wise and holy?
Here I put an example of KALIDAS,
Why we hung ‘tween holy and folly?
