[On reading Mamta Agarwal’s ‘Homage to Common Man’] br The pains of a bereaved one br Over loss of sibling, child or spouse br To unnatural, untimely death br Can never assuaged be br With pass of time or br Forming new relations! br The person lost is lost for ever br And never replaceable br Memories kindled br By each familiar sight br Rakes up the pain br Tears unbeckoned they brim br Afresh anew ever ready br To fall at dropp of name! br Tears and Pain br Always remain br Soul maimed br The zombie br Drags it’s feet br To the end of life! br Our sympathy, br Pity or prayers br None will help br Fill the emptiness inside! br Life is cruel....
