Darkness Poem by Amitava Chakraborty

'I am the prominent symbol of all mischieves
I scare by my dark complexion
Receiving a funny stock in return.
I feel proud eclipsing the mighty sun
And be glad chatting with the lonely stars,
My din & degrading sons in the night sky.

Black my other name disliked by all
But liked by the romantic poets for emotional call
My enemy is worshiped everywhere
But unlucky light views only the dark side
while lucky I feel better the bright part of life.'
