#OpenPoetry SOMETHING I LOOK AT-49
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Where is that space in our heart
for those who made their day and night 
together to let us stand and
made us what we are.

Do we pay anything for
the air we breathe, the water
we drink and the sunshine
that keeps us alive?
or we are just apathetic
to our own survival?

Where is the heart, that beats?
Are we so selfish
having no space in our heart
for those significant others
and the environment that sustains and
nourishes us all along?

Are we bundles of self-interests,
Is our value system, the sum total
of naked self-interests, largely defined
in terms of material gain
or something else?

Our selfish will have put
us in a dark corner and
for our own doings
we are in the depth of the abyss.

No way out,
we are to realise the truth that by
having a genuine concern and love for others
we are but helping our own existence.

In our heart
we are to create that space
for others and learn to live together
and love each other to come out of
the depth of the abyss
where we are,
or else with all our economic development
and sophisticated idiocy
we are but leading our civilization
to its death,
poignant and premature.
