Deep Mukherjee - Confrontation

Oneday in my dream
I came across a broken-wing bird
I silently asked 'Can you see me? '
With agony in eyes she screamed;
'I can see a pain-ful world'! !
Oneday in my dream
I came across a hungry lion
I fearfully asked 'Can you see me? '
With violence in his eyes he screamed;
'I can see the food which keeps me on'! !
Oneday in my dream
I came across an encaged rabbit
I politely asked 'Can you see me? '
With disgust it replied;
'I see slavery, deception and deceit'! !
Oneday in my dream
I came across a hunted deer
I frightfully asked 'Can you see me? '
Replied as it ran away;
'I see terror and fear'! !
Then oneday in my dream
I came across a smiling man
With despair I asked the same;
His smile banished; was it so lame! !
Without a reply the creature ran! ! !
Abandoned by everyone-
Dreams sank in deep water
To taste the voidness
Of this endless sea of despair! ! ! ! !
