A LOOK AT LIFE-47
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Very difficult
to be a foreigner in one's own house
very difficult to be in a corner
having no taker

Very difficult
to godown in the eyes of those
for whom once you are the hero
very difficult to withstand
the changing needs of time and
fading colours of life

Very difficult
to compromise with your values and to
succumb to the whims of those
once so dear
very difficult to reduce oneself to zero
and become part of the game
where you don't have a place of your own

Very difficult
to see your house of dreams
shattered, neglected and sold
very difficult to see your love humiliated
very difficult to accept the reality
and digest the same 

Blessed is he
who leaves
before fully exhausted
with boots on
chest up and head high
instead of being an unnecessary antique
in the showcase
the presence of which no one relish
the extinction of which no one desire
