SOMETHING I LOOK AT-32

BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

He is a man doing many roles and

so many persons he is,

a son, a father, a brother,

husband and what not.

Doing justice to all the roles is

what he needs

Full of masculine virility,

he toils hard and fights against all odds

to make his family happy,

conquers the whole world for the woman

he loves, the kids he rears

and the family he bears,

but without a bit of feminine tenderness

how incomplete he is?

Under the scorching heat of sun

and pears of shower he works,

reduces himself to a beast of burden,

never after his own comfort,

gives everything he has to those

be thinks him own,

can live and die for the woman he loves,

the ability of him few can question,

still, fewer can question his

commitment and purpose,

but questionable is his attitude towards life

and the woman he interacts with,

questionable is the way he looks at his woman,

the lady of his life.

Man is no man until and unless

he finds the woman in him

or else how solitary and poor he is

something to look at
