Living Or Lasting! Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

sometimes it needs to slap
on own face
it needs to taste oneself
whether
living or lasting

it needs to verify
own designation
to keep existence
on the beach

beach is strictly
poet's own assignment
since waves are random
never consider ones
living or lasting

living is the glory of life
shining on the dashboard
while lasting is the abandoned faculty
only slaves of own destiny
exist by casual consequences!
