If I am
Political
Do I want
To be a
Politician
If I am literate
Do I want
To be a writer
If I am
A foodie
Do I want
To be a
Chef
If I play
Football
Do I want
To be a
Footballer
No
These are
The apparatchiks
Of celebrity
These are avatars
Of posed
Lives learned
In educated
Theatres
Called seminar
Called lecture
Called sermon
Called forth
By god
By king
By any supreme
Entity that
Denies
The value
Of the
People
The people
Learn like
The ant and the bee
Like the dog and the cat
Like the fish and the bird
They do so despite
The bourgeois
They go around, behind and under
One day they
May go through
