Assessment Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

A little mynah at my window's ledge
Looked at me and the outside world,
Wanted to know who could be fair,
Me or someone mixed in the crowd
Baying aloud-
‘Give me more', 'Give me more.'
The little bird who could read my mind
Could sing like me
The happy and many an unhappy song,
It did not ask for more from me,
To deal with the loneliness, it found
After its mate had flown away,
She was left behind,
Sad and pensive.
Who was fair, it forgot to ask.
