Palas Kumar Ray - Life Is Also Like That

He said he did it.
Because he had a lot of pain.
Because he wasn't happy in himself.
His voice still resonates in my brain.

He said he did it.
Because it was so necessary to do.
As he did no harm to me but himself,
he did not allow us to stop and wanted we go.

He said he did it.
Though intoxicated, his voice was very clean
eyes were so red and look was so cool!
He stood like a forbidding wall in between.

He said he did it.
We could only stand and helplessly see
an woman was walking inside the cottage,
as calm as He.We could only see.

He said he did it.
Fire was now larking in the sky.
Impatiently awaited for someone to come,
I was only a stranger with fear in my eye.

He said he did it.
Standing like a wall he said, 'Go'.
Everybody else who came near
Pretended if they had nothing to do.

He said he did it.
Fire engulfed the cottage while smokes went high
Nothing could be seen now what happening inside.
no scream, no cry, only deep sighs filled the serene sky.

He said he did it.
burning was now over and ashes were left.
The man disappeared having his wishes fulfilled.
We could only see his wife and three children who wept.
