Do work
Earn money
Eat
Bring up your children.

Hold on...
Is it all what you are supposed to do? ?
Or something else still remains! !

'MAN IS A SOCIAL ANIMAL', society needs you.

We all have to think on it
And then we should proceed.

A Meaningful write Sir from your pen. I loved the message you wanted to convey. Very true said, when we are born, we are bounded by some duties in our life. What our parents did for us, we are too bounded to do it for our parents as well as for our children as well as to the society. Man is a social animal, it cannot live alone, society needs you, you needs society. This is one fact of our life. I loved reading each lines. Thanks for sharing with us.

Eating and bringing up children are common factor for every life. But we have to put some additional value of life. The poem conveys the same message. Thanks for share. Regards.

This is a strong message, humanity needs to wake up. This world needs a, global, social conscience to unite us all. We all must communicate, there are too many, fabricated, divisions in society. Well written Amitava.

Amitava, this is a great message here. A man has to take care of his family, has to work and earn money so they can eat and be brought up correctly. Yet man has to contribute also to society, and he has to find ways of doing so. Sometimes men get so caught up in this cycle, as you have shown with your repetitive lines in the beginning, that they don't know what else they're supposed to be doing. You have such great insight into life and everyday problems, I enjoy reading your poetry, you make me think of things I wouldn't ordinarily think of. Thank you for expanding my mind. RoseAnn

Besides earning money, eating and bringing up children, life is much more than these selfish pursuits! Man is a social being and each man has to grow beyond himself into the society at large! Very cleverly put, Amitava! The repetition of the lines show our morbid preoccupation with our own self!
