MY POEM ," IN THE FIELD"

                             

(In the Field)

In a world that neither acknowledges  

nor encourages,  

we still draw the line and stand.  

What if the chariot is empty today?  

What if no Murlidhara answers,  

and the sky returns only silence?  

What if the Kurus multiply their fronts  

just to exhaust us, to break us?  

Still ,  act we must.  

Action is our revolt against indifference.  

Action is our karma when nothing is owed to us.  

We do not wait for meaning to be given.  

We carve it into the world with our hands.  

The field demands one thing:  

That we do not kneel.  

That we fight, 

even unseen.  

That we become the reason

the field remembers

we were here.
