Dear Ashu, I am shocked to notice that you've decided to like this poem despite its failure to meet several of your "standards". At present, I am acutely aware of the following: (1) First, the poem does not pass the test of fuzziness of which you are so strong an advocate. For example, the poem gives concrete numbers such as "since 250 years", "seeing your 10-heads" AND does not say, "since the last few years", "seeing your n-heads where n>=1". You cannot deny that the poem is unequivocal in its message. Everybody understands what the poet is trying to say. The metaphor of the "10-head" is not there because the poet is a fan of the metric system or because the maalik is 10 times more intelligent than the ordinary Bise. Bise learned this symbol from the Ramayan TV serial although he was never allowed to watch it legally. Also, Bise does not say, "Hajur, you are a player. And compared to others, you have a clearer and stronger message since Feb 1. Depending on which direction the wind will blow, I will decide whether or not to continue sewing clothes for your courtesyless courtiers." Also, Bise openly defies his maalik, and you (more than anybody else) know that the maalik "is an honourable man". How can Bise write such ungrateful words to such a great player whose only pious goal is to maximize his current utility considering all the options he has available at this time while simultaneously acknowledging that he is also faced with severe resource constraints and thereby may obtain local maxima instead of the global one ultimately forcing him to satisfice rather than optimize. In short, the poem is bleak and black. It is definitely not as gray as you would have really wished. (2) Also, the poet seems just an intellectual and romantic living in the world of abstract ideas. This should not be tolerable by an efficiency/profit/success-oriented thinker like you. What has Mukarung accomplished by writing this poem? Just talk, nothing else. He has not broken anyone's head or burnt any house? In conclusion, he has not taken any action himself and this does not/should not suit your action-oriented strategies. (3) You wrote "a truly remarkable achievement" at the end. Perhaps the poem would have been much more valuable and significant if the poet had written it in English - the language for securing jobs and success. But Mukarung -perhaps a country bumpkin could not dare to write in English leaving this opportunity for anglophile intellectuals like us. Let us seize it!!
