I am in complete agreement. Writing sub-standard stuff is excusable but posting some other person's "bromides" masquerading as poetry is kind of sad. This folly is compounded when one realises that this completely mediocre and nauseatingly solipsistic poem has been posted because Shekhar Kapur is a great Director (though even in that some people may vehemently disagree).

Dear Albert,
If you're going to post such terrible, indulgent, pretentious,
adolescent and sophomoric poems by the likes of Shekhar Kapur, then why
not also post the poetic works of Abdul Kalam, Atal Behari Vajpayee and
any other famous, powerful people we can think of? I hear that Tabu and
Amitabh B also write poems-- can we afford to ignore them? After all,
Amitabh's dad was a brilliant poet, so he must be, too. And after all,
if they are good at one thing, they must surely be good at absolutely
everything. Ram Gopal Verma has surely penned a strophe or two, Laloo
Yadav certainly does, and I'm quite certain -- I have a strong feeling
about this-- that Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ketan Mehta, Mahesh Bhatt,
Karisma Kapoor, Manisha Koirala, Shah Rukh Khan and Robert De Niro have
all tried their hand at a haiku or two. Why not track them down?
Yours
Vivek
