SOMETHING I LOOK AT-32
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

He is a man doing many roles and
so many persons he is,
a son, a father, a brother,
husband and what not.
Doing justice to all the roles is
what he needs

Full of masculine virility,
he toils hard and fights against all odds
to make his family happy,
conquers the whole world for the woman
he loves, the kids he rears
and the family he bears,
but without a bit of feminine tenderness
how incomplete he is?

Under the scorching heat of sun
and pears of shower he works,
reduces himself to a beast of burden,
never after his own comfort,
gives everything he has to those
be thinks him own,
can live and die for the woman he loves,
the ability of him few can question,
still, fewer can question his
commitment and purpose,
but questionable is his attitude towards life
and the woman he interacts with,
questionable is the way he looks at his woman,
the lady of his life.
Man is no man until and unless
he finds the woman in him
or else how solitary and poor he is
