When Tamas Triumphed Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
When Tamas Triumphed
Triumphant, tamas on a pedestal,
Pathetic looked the face of a candle,
And what happened, bit odd,
Truth pushed to hide in pod,
Curtain when called, scene was hard to handle.
____________________________________________________
Tamas: Area of sloth, untruth and darkness in man's within.
What happens when a whole island of darkness stands triumphant, and poor candle that tries to illumine all along is blamed for darkness? The past is totally forgotten and a curtain falls, as it were, on the candle's lifetime of contribution. ______________________________________________________
