Lonelyness Poem by Ratneswar Brahmachari

Loneliness...

What can make you lonely?

Ever thought my friend?

Crowd compels you to feel lonely,
E-mail, chatting, social networks....
Night clubs, drinks, parties attest loneliness.

We have landed on the Moon...three hundred thousand kilometres away...so far we have explored!
Yet we have trouble to visit our next door neighbour, ill and bedridden geriatric.

We have mastered telegraphic abbreviations to save our time or hide our literary senses which are but dying!


We confuse very often by taking elixir of octet from iPod and mobiles.
Headphone questions our security while crossing roads or an unmanned railway track.

All these virtual realities snatch our own imaginations...
We are but slaves of modern machines.

Machines are left alone when outputs are nomore.
We are alone when our creativities are off.
Creativity and sensuousness demand a break in our routine.
What kind of life is this where enjoyments are to be searched outside.

Drive the lonelyness out and enjoy yourself looking inward.
