Born A Cry… Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Born A Cry…



Of dark deep forest amidst roars of carnivorous
can't you hear distinctly my newborn cry?
Pushed on, no request, to this wilderness
on compulsion sheer, you sent me, why?
The fear I feel, remember my deeds
crimes past, filth, shame, more penalized?
I know I have no option, no escape
but to face the trials you set unknown
Therefore, my Lord! I plead forgiveness
for I must stop crying, learn to smile,
learn to laugh, pretend to hate and love,
to act on this stage of life, a defence to find
and dare challenge your merciful, merciless ways
to see me lifted free from bondage again

A shakespearian tragedy to say the least.

‘…Can’t you hear distinct my new born cry? ...’ Is it society’s cannibalism…? …very subtly percolated out the Poet’s anguish and concern… Will we so-called civils come into…enter into the ‘into of this ‘…Pushed on, ......... ‘? If so when…and Big when…if not how to make us hear… Ten++ with humane anguish Ms. Nivedita UK

A really thought provoking..so deep.. And yes you're right..a profound philosophy within... Have to go on despite the situation from which we can't control..no option..but to live life with the life we had...
