The Hero But Puppet Poem by Pranab K Chakraborty

JUST IMAGINE
A LONG DRAWN LINE
FROM UNKNOWN PAST
TO A DISTANT FUTURE
UNKNOWN
AND YOU ALONE
THROUGH DARK
WALKING ON IT
TO REACH SOMEWHERE
YET NOT KNOWN

THE LINE AS SHARP
AS BLADE
SOFT YOUR FEET
WITH SOFTEST TOUCH
KEEP YOURSELF ENABLING
TO MOVE
NOTHING TO HOLD
NOTHING TO LOOK
HERE THERE ABOVE OR BELOW
ONLY THE FRONT DARKNESS
PENETRATING WITH
MORBID DESIRE

JUST IMAGINE
YOU HAVE NO FEELING
EXCEPT LOVE
AND FINDING NO ESCAPE
TO RUN ANY OTHER WAY
LEAVING THE LINE

CHASING TIME
TO EXTRACT YOUR YOU
FROM THE BODY
CHASING TIME
TO EXTRACT YOUR FEELING
OF LOVE TO HATE
AND TIME CHASING
TO MAKE ANOTHER DARK
THE WHOLE OF YOU

YET THE ANOTHER
YET THE ANOTHER
YET THE ANOTHER
JUST ON THE SAME TRACK
TRYING TO HOLD SOMETHING
TRYING TO ANCHOR
STOPPING THE GAME-PLAN
TIME UNKNOWN PRACTICING

BUT UNDONE!
