It.. Poem by Dr. Sougata Banerjee

You wanted to exterminate it
And u throttled it with your full vigour,
Laid it in the sarcophagus
And covert it under the mire.
Days passed and the seasons changed,
But you forgot a small fissure,
A hole in the coffin.
It saw the world in you, the serenity of life, through it
And again breathed the hope, the belief, the trust
It promised not to die
And it pledged to survive with you
In the illusion of myth...
