Defiance Poem by Pravat Kumar Mandal

Defiance
Pravat Kumar Mandal

O dear two-legged beast,
How long will you rest?
How often will you wag
Like the yellow-dog?

Whatev'r is said or done
May be condemnation.
It doesn't matter to you
And unable to mew.

O beloved creature
Amusing your gestures.
Your roaring and howling
Just like the child yelling.

O dear, don't be a feeder
You yourself your leader.
Then why to be a stooge?
Under the branded rogues!

Dear, remove your coating
Be a human being.
Remember, they are few
They're nothing without you.
