Height

Height What is Height? It is nothing . No, it is something. You need to be a tall man; If you want to love me- An Intelligent College Girl said. What is Height? That is an important thing; A soldier said. Do we need Height- To serve the country? Yes, yes. You do need. But I am so patriotic! But Height is proportional to Patriotism; Again the soldier said. Can't I do anything in this world without Height? Can't I keep my identity without Height? No, never, all the beanpoles supported. A sailor, policeman, soldier, airman Everybody needs Height! Then a poet comes there- The question again repeated! Is Height a necessary thing to become a poet? No, not at all. Then what else a poet needs? Nothing else, but some Imagination and inspiration . Yes, Ability is the criterion; not Height.
Is a shorty a trustworthy person in the world of poetry?
Yes, if he has the Ability!
Because it is a world which surpasses even flesh and blood!
When you bid farewell to this world you leave only your name
And not your Height.
OK, then let us join them.
