Meaty Pride Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

When a ravishing red rose brags her beauty
In public or on the quiet, it`s a rightful claim.
When a resolute soldier shouts his indomitable valor
The clarion claim is justified in his last-ditch struggle.
Their beaming confidence spills over and splashes;
Bubbles or froths never come up from empty pots.
Making open commitment by throwing or accepting
A challenge needs very violent guts and mettle.
One who does what he thinks and proves what he says
Stands as a stalwart out in the large and dubious crowd.
