Dust And Diction Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

When contradict a sudden flash Of orthodox values dictates you To plant another chastity With moral support.. instinct and non instinct. you are here dealing with lots of Points dear Poet...……. very fine, Moral, philosophical and controversial themes.. thanku. tony

Ants build nests and store foods there for their children coz they know they cannot defy the coldest of winters and the showers of monsoon..tiny red ants are close to sands than us.We see as humans sands only as dust under bare feet and buy soaps for prejudices to be clean from sepsis.But farmers work all day on sands sans prejudice so that we eat our grains and fruits.Big giant trees stand strong on sands only.Soldiers fight for inch inch of sands.We do not bother coz we see the bricks tightened up with cement.This is also allegory of sands in a mixture.Houses count for nothing when comes an earthquake or are blown away to dusts by atomic bombs.Heccatomb can only hurt the mind but not the spirit of sands we are made of.Alas! not all of us have this realisation.When it is realised, its either very late or the realisation what it started as sands will get its track back to sands again through wood, through fire, through love, through passion, through mud and muck, through sands and dusts winded away to be just sands.
