Feeding a hungry child

Dr.Sudhansu Dash

The invisible stomach eaten away by hunger

The child stands naked at the door step

With two appealing eyes

For some food.

The skin covers the body in an indisciplined proportion

Bones want not to be

 In the arrangement of the body

Eyes escape in the indefinite fathom of the black hole

Bloods have turned their color to the virgin snow

His dried lips of the summer

Shivers to fall at any immediate moment

The future man of the Earth stands

For a perspective promising tomorrow

His heart drinks my salty blood

His hunger eats away my sweet flesh

His heartbeats pulsates in my pulse

Am I not a part of his body?

A leaf blade destroyed in my cruel palm

Affects millions of stars in the cosmos

The ocean is thirsty in the absence of a drop of water

I think

I am obliged to distribute the remaining of my unspend life

To the future

Standing at my door with two unfolded empty palms.
