Duels Of Life-01- The Backdated Poem by Subhas Chandra Chakra

Duels Of Life-01- The Backdated

Rating: 5.0


That evening

in the dim light

from the distant light post

on my lonely veranda

I saw a few ants

engaged in the act perennial

and the oldest game

the game of predation.



The ants were small

yet outnumbering

the scorpion

mighty,

black,

gigantic,

age old,

might have preyed others

myriad times

other insects with

fruitless prayers

to escape from

his deadly stings

and

and yes,

peacefully digested over.



But this time

alas!

the scorpion

A Henzur Rupert

was defeated,

His legs were

now carried,

its sting was stung.

Oh! It's the Time!

And It was the one

that belonged to

someone else

this time.

The power of numbers, perseverance, effort, dedication. There is something here that suggests that the act of will and determination serves to overcome what appears to be a greater force. A magnificent poem, with a profound observation and insight about life and its rules of engagement. A 10!
