LIFE


TO LIVE

TO LIVE
[ Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar ]




Terror fills the skies,
Hot are the winds
With sulphur, with venom;
But up to the destination
Braving storms
Ceaselessly,
We have to move!

Like a flood of fire
The flames shoot up
Again and again;
But up to the destination
Over crackling embers,
On lonely paths,
We have to walk,
Bearing the heat,
Getting singed and
Being burnt!

Mines of gunpowder
Are laid all over,
In the rivers, the mountains and the forests
But up to the destination
Solitary,
We have to walk,
Our iron feet pounding
The pits, the trenches
Again and again.
