Just Want To Know Poem by Amitava Sur

Just Want To Know

Rating: 2.5


When a man kills the animal
We call it a sports.

When the animal kills a man
We call it a cruelty.

But when in the hand of God
Innocents are dying premature death
By any accident or disease.

Why we all call it then
Only a destiny ? ? ? ? ? ?
Why not to call it as His sports
Or a cruelty ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

God has a plan for all of us and He knows it all.

A very intense write. We may not have all the answers but we do know what lies in our very being. Life is a cycle whether we either live it good or bad. Live it to the fullest.

Maybe it's because we are sensitive human beings, not wanting to think of our love being taking away from us lightly in sport or cruelty. Destiny makes it more human to us, especially through grief, I think. We seem to have some pre-ordained thoughts tucked beneath our minds, when it comes to death and dying, destiny is the lesser cruelty somehow, I think. You make me think deeply within, Amitava. Can't find the right answer, if there is one. RoseAnn
