The Mind Of A Blacksmith... Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

Very insightful having all the ingredients of a life both of darker side and brighter side introspected to conclude that I am becoming obsolete and a laughing stock before gold smith society and it's all game of time to decide which to hold dear and which near and in between life struggles to sustain.......a great write.....Dineshji.....10/10

Thoughtful write with great message hidden. All these things happens due to competitions and done by competitors mainly. my metal cannot be heated that easy Leave alone shaping it one day into a knife.......Very true said, it was strong enough that it can be bent down that easily. Some one is doing the mischief here...............Who is doing mischief, only who gain something from it. competitors. Jealousy too play the wonderful role in it. Very true said, a time comes when anvil and hammer are no more in demand, these thoughts are hitting the mind of blacksmith, as his product may no longer in demand because goldsmith products are in demand as they may not rust with the time. Anything not used for longer time, so its sure to rust. The concluding lines says all. At one point of time hammer and anvil were in demand, but with the change of time, When new things comes in market and the old things are no longer in demand. Competitors are benefited by this. I can relate this to many old machinery which had become today outdated and many lost the job especially in villages. Thoughtful write. I loved reading it. Actually this poem reflects in different angles.
