Oh Load-Bearers Of Humanity Poem by Bhaswat Chakraborty
Oh Load-Bearers Of Humanity
When I gasp for strength
I borrow it from you, oh the strong ones!
You carry the load stupendous
Of the humanity
Time and time again
Since the dawn of awareness
How do you do that I wonder
The weight of ignorance
The mountain of evil
The heaps of malice
of billions (and countlessly repeated)
You carry the cross of non-love alone
Time and time again
For others to feel loved
Appreciated and pleased
How do you do that I wonder
How do you stay so calm
Amid the whirlpool of clamour
Kind and compassionate
In devouring face of brutality and mayhem
How do you spread your light
Right through the forest
of fear, delusion and stupor
You salvage the soul
For others to be safe
And to feel light and restful
In a life of little wisdom
How do you do that I wonder
How do you spread your magic
Of charm, nobility and honour
In hearts so dark there
that beasts may refuse a habitation
How do you pull that trick
of giving the innocence back
so that he is human again!
How do you enthrall
the dull, the doped, the ordinary
to carry the torch
of your divine glory
Oh load-bearers of humanity
I wonder how you carry the load so awesome
But when I gasp for strength
I take refuge in your strength
I take refuge in you!

How humanity is facing reality of Kali Yuga is well expressed in the poem. Nice to read!
This was great. The thought of being 'That Person' Is mind blowing. To be 'The One' that has to endure it all. It makes you wonder. Great Job.
