I Don’t Know Poem by Amitava Sur

I Don’t Know

Rating: 5.0


Egg is first or the chicken –
I don’t know
Home is first or the society –
I don’t know.

Kindness is a great virtue, I'm hearing since long
Again I am hearing also “ Fight for survival”! !

Is that all a mockery or hypocrisy
I don’t know! ! !

Truly, it seems mockery or hypocrisy to distinguish between expressing kindness and fight for survival.

These are the great unanswered questions of life that poets, philosophers, and other have thought about throughout history and will continue to do so throughout time. A good poem that makes one think.

Great questions to ask of life, yet we will never get an answer, because none of us knows which came first. Yes, kindness is a great virtue, with it we can help others in ways we will never know. Your last question, is it a mockery or hypocrisy, I guess that would depend on how you look at it. Very thought-provoking, Amitava! You have brought my curiosity out in the open, for I'm trying to find answers to these illuminating questions. Nothing yet though. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
