ONE-EYED DEER br br br I never realized your greatness br when you were there with me br I never knew exactly where the shoe pinches br and the road is marked with bloodstains br br when everything was assured br rice fields cattle friends br flatterers thronged like bees br and I never realized loneliness br why the heart aches in the midnight br br now I have known what is poverty br I know hunger and need of sharing br why one hand is incomplete without the other br I realize now how one ear feels br without the cooperation of the other br br so today I can’t be an one-eyed deer br even if the world so desires br br br br br Rajkumar - Seychellesbr br Rajkumar Mukherjeebr br
