Lonely We

by Kingshuk Chakraborty

We brought up walls

Of difference and distance

In thousands

Every now and then.

Now is silence

Another came up, and how....?

Little did we know!

But it wrests an embrace

With ice on our chest;

Oh! Where did the heartbeat go?

Trees of love

Standing in the garden

Are plenty.

Beneath them children,

Cheers for fruits they enjoy,

Remained though in their circles

Why they look so empty?

We needed, so we own

A separate piece of land.

Peace and happiness, we grow

From the saplings that we plant.

So what caused us worries

When the corpses were burnt alone?

Why to beat our chest,

If now, the lonely have gone?
