Choice Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Choice

Rating: 5.0


I wage a losing battle.
if the stray pup survives

one more dog on the street
one more hungry mouth

if I let it die

one more death for my conscience
one more compromise to
only the fittest survive

I make my choice.

In the name of Darwin
I can't let the pup die
under cold night sky.

An absorbing poem. Behind the economy of words lies the story of a deep question you wrestled with. I am glad you chose life. Reference to Darwin adds depth and a twist. Good writing, Pradip.
