 Surviving By Fighting Every Moment

          Samir Kumar Dutta

                 

He, who has none arround and never was

Has to survive anyhow by struggling

Since his birth.

It is true, no realisation of life

Can be achieved without struggle,

It is somewhat difficult for one

To perceive his life even if

He is born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

The destination of life is just the front line

It is acclivity to one

And declivity to some other.

Someone fights to defend himself

Some other one for victory,

They, who have no security from early life

Fight to defend themselves unarmed

They retreat by fighting without arms,

Continuously retreating their backs

At one-time they touch the boundary wall

Where there is no space to retreat further

Then comes the final blow

The sinful life that is an effect  

Of the desire of someones

Express the severe pain speechlessly for the last moment 

Till the soul departs,

The burden-like body 

Falls down on the ground 

In a pool of blood 

By which matherland's debt is repaid,

Then all the fights come to an end.

But those,who fight for victory

Deal a counterblow resisting the strike from the opponent,

Kills the enemies at last by continuously striking back,

Only then they can attain the right of living.

Thus life means struggle

Surviving by fighting every moment.
