Supratik SEN

Fifty years ago on this very special day,
You shared your dream; you had your say;
The two colorful worlds stood and listened to you,
Your speech of love and peace had blended them anew;
...

My mirror has broken.
It did not make any sound, as it fell on the
grass.
My head hung, I could see the broken sky with muddy borders in the

This scientist you see
Almost got a Nobel Prize
She invented a laughing gun for free
Took everyone by surprise...

A little while ago, there was light in the sky.
My vision could go till a distance and travel back into the eyes with stories to tell.

Don't cease to tease you black and blue without a clue
With images horrid that cloud and clot;

My life is dead; dull, dim monotonous in its repetition.
Every minute and hour spent, to second without option.
From the time I wake up to the time I sleep,
Rigorous, onerous routine takes me on its grip.
...

If the word means surrender
i don't know
if the word means peace so tender
i am at ease it is to show
...

My child, my daughter, is ready to leave
Her bag is packed. To study she has to go
In some other town she’d be a sophomore.
