A Man & A Hope

Rating: 4.2


Man lives on hope.
Hope leads a Man.
But when there
Is no hope
Does hope
Look back? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Man looks back.

Because -
Man lives on hope.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Certainly a riddle so framed needs to exercise one's ingenuity in answering it but hope leads man and man has to look back and not hope as hope born of hope and not of man............Amitavaji.........I think so.....nice write

Simply a beautiful poem. Very true said, we are dependent on hope while hope is not dependent on us. Its only the hope that wake us tomorrow, as we believe another bright day is yet to come. Though poem is short and sweet but a thoughtful write.too..... Loved reading it.

End of hope is end of life. An universal truth shortly crafted.

A very clever construction, Amitava! Yes, man lives on hope.... When hope is extinguished, he ceases to exist.

Hope is a valuable means of believing we can get through. It gives a great strength to get through often difficult times. Hope a much needed word for us all. Thank you

Ingenious thought, without hope we cannot go on, yet hope does not need us to continue on. Very thoughtful poem, to the point. Love it! You are a philosopher, Amitava! !
