Chances. Poem by Subhadip Bhattacharya

When one cannot be given life again
Because it's already been given.
But since it's not yet been taken
And time is running
The thought of losing the life
Makes it more liveable.
And sense of pain prevailed
Between the patients in the hospital.
That surely nothing can be done.
Oh! What a tragedy.

When one has done time in jail
Is different from one who has
Done time in time itself.
Meaning hasn't been able to do
Nothing except sit idle and do time.
Even he, now in a hospital
Suffering from incurable disease
Just wants to go away....

But there's still a romantic readiness
To not been able to do nothing
But waste to oblivion.
Life.....
It sure does go on
But,
Chance...not taken
Not taken.....
And still not taken...
Puts an irony to it.
