To The East. Poem by Subhadip Bhattacharya

Are we going somewhere?
Yes, towards the east.East is
Where the sun rise.
For many a years people thought
East is the big brother of the west.
As it's is going ahead of the west.

People think we are going nowhere
But it is otherwise.
The earth is moving. Traveling.
To the east.
East,where we shed all our pain.
Shed all our grief and sorrow.
To rinse by the light of the rising sun.
To stand at the edge of the world
And see the sun rise up from the horizon.

The tattered bones, the diseased skin
Aren't we all akin, to come back again
In this brave new world of adventures
To die with no pain at heart...
Only joy.... that we were here.
