The Inevitable Trauma. Poem by Subrata Ray

The Inevitable Trauma

The burden of scholarship weeps,
The bookish thoughts foolishly moan,
The pedantic mind writhes ego's fire,
The drooping conscience cries where, where!
Time mocks from back on clever manipulation,
The plunged mind seeks confession ,
Amidst the self-rooted temptations,
And scattered paragons of consumed castle.

The hanging residue breathes musty frustration,
The bygone golden sun stares yellowish glance
