The summer sky was all blue
and clear
And the morning breeze
whispered in my ears
Of distant lands unknown,
To cherish, love and behold.
Life had never seemed to be
so much fun
As if a well choreographed
dance
Few birds sat twittering in
their nests,
Nurturing the young ones with
love intense
The forest had suddenly come
alive
Full of vigor, spirit and
melodious sights
All of a sudden two sounds
were heard-
While the first came a raging
gun,
The latter, from the dead
bird’s silent fall
The killer beast looked like
you and me,
Can you see one within thee ?
-Raja Chakraverty
