The List Poem by Narender Singh Bansal

The List came today
He read the list
again and again
but the name
never came up
He was not the best
even though some said
He was the deserving
Someone said Hard luck
but was it a lottery
Maybe He forgot to sign
the good book
but his signature lies
on the work done
throughout these years
He is hurt
but he won't rest
Time will heal the wound
scars shall remain
The heart aches
at the thought
Why did they do it?
