People Next Door -1 Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

People Next Door -1

Rating: 5.0


I live next door,
Next to
The compound wall
Separating us.

I smell
the soup you cook
Every dinner.

I see
The bones you throw
Every lunch.

I hear
The music of utensils
Every day..


Yet my kids
feed on stale rice,
And stomach full of
Free water,

For I never lied
I never stole,
I never picked any stuff
That was not mine,

And I loved to remain as I am
I remained poor,
For I was a lover-
A lover of nature and
A true neighbour.
