[On reading Mamta Agarwal’s ‘Homage to Common Man’]
The pains of a bereaved one
Over loss of sibling, child or spouse
To unnatural, untimely death
Can never assuaged be
With pass of time or
Forming new relations!
The person lost is lost for ever
And never replaceable
Memories kindled
By each familiar sight
Rakes up the pain
Tears unbeckoned they brim
Afresh anew ever ready
To fall at dropp of name!
Tears and Pain
Always remain
Soul maimed
The zombie
Drags it’s feet
To the end of life!
Our sympathy,
Pity or prayers
None will help
Fill the emptiness inside!
Life is cruel....yes
And there is no remedy
To dull the pain
Or stop the tears!
