The Song Of A Sailor Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

The sailors are for the Navy
And the Navy is for officers.
It’s a sailor’s openion.
He was attracted to Navy
Reading a line on the big hording
‘Join the Navy and see the world’.
He couldn’t even imagine
A sophisticated trap was laid in it
To draw the young boys like him.
He flew inside and became a caged bird
Became a paid slave in the Navy
And started waiting for the end of his bond.
Finally the day came, told good-bye to Navy
And settled at a place
Where white dresses are not seen.
