Literature Goutam

( This is the english version of my bengali poem' Duti Manush') One  person  dreams, Another  shatters those  dreams. One  moves  forward While  another  pulls  back. One  is  a  soulmate, Another  calculates. One  lives  in  joy, The other's  balance is empty in the end. One  blends  with  all, Another  is  selfish. One  lives  within  the heart, While  another  becomes  a stranger. One   speaks  freely, Another  remains  grim. A flowery  smile on one's face, The  other is  a masked  braggart. -----+-+++++------- Poet: Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick
