Name Poem by Atashi Ghosh

The journey starts from the very beginning
From the snap of the cord till the end.
Identity thrust upon the soul
Without questioning its intent.
Without any idea about its essence
People grab on to a series of options
To answer an array of questionnaire
From the household to the outer world.
The innocent soul, unaware of prospects
It is expected to bring, clings on with a smile
At the several unfulfilled desire that
Hanker after it all through.
The struggle for a name
Thus begins with a name.
