The Fighting Twins Poem by AKSHAYA KUMAR DAS

Hope & despair,
Never live together,

While hope is a beacon light,
In Despair conscience struggles to fight,

At times takes a toll,
From the cliff despair falls,

Hope ceasing to exist,
Despair holds the minute,

Hope & Despair the twins,
One shows light,
The other leaves you to fight,

Hope never leaves the humanity,
Despair from time to time shows it's face of brutality,

Human sufferings live with hope,
Despair plays the negative leaving no scope,

In between hope & despair humanity exists,
Since time immemorial despair is a cyst,

The cyst is cured by the panacea of hope,
Without each other life fails to reach the top,
.....
