The laying of Eggs

Pijush Kanti Deb

The laying of eggs by a cuckoo-
paints two pictures in our hearts,
one, a portrait of a dead scavenger
lying on a heap of garbage
and other is an image of a popular singer
who sings and poets compose poems.

The laying of eggs by a cuckoo-
sets ablaze the whole cage of heart
to gut off all the old tamed pets,
still consoles it with new seed that germinate
into innovated tree of greed
for the opportunist and shrewd.

The laying of eggs by a cuckoo-
causes
the dual between optimist and pessimist
and sets us around the ring as supporters
to make the environment tumultuous round the clock.
Thus, we forget the death of the poor scavenger
and become blissful to the melodious singer.
