Merely HumanA Poem by Subhadeep Banerjee
Why does the cheer of millions
Echo through the sky When India wins a match? How can they all be one? ...They are merely human. Why did the innocent endure exile And waste the best years of his life Just for his friend? How could he sacrifice so much? ...He was merely human. Why did the clown keep smiling on stage And never flinch for a moment Though his son was dying at home? How could he hide his tears? ...He was merely human. How could the man avenge his wife's death By killing the one responsible Even when he was about to die himself? Where did he find the strength? ...He was merely human. Why did the old couple travel a thousand miles To a land they never knew Just to see his son's dead body? How did they find the way? ...They were merely human. Why did she walk up Without a single tear And embrace her dead love? Why couldn't she cry? ...She was merely human. How can God be greater If He cant feel these gems of Human feelings? How can he know man's passion If He cant die defending His love? How would He feel pain If He can follow His will? How can He value life If He is immortal? How can He be counted upon If He doesn't need to trust? We live, we die We love, we cry We are greater than any God- We are merely Human! © 2010 Subhadeep Banerjee |
