MIRROR OF TIME
- an anthology of poems
By
Gautam Maitra
INTRODUCTION
A
pedestrian, a righteous man, walks on one of the planets of the universe
and collects sea-shells of events on the beaches of life. This collection is a poetic
expression of minuscule emotions scattered and introspection into mannerism and
habits of human society. A Giant Wall replaces an empty piece of land meant for
lovers and grazing cows. At another time and place, Mister Sunday enjoys a
break from office duty and embraces the hours that belong to him. A kid in a
village asks the sparrow where to find water in this summer where water is
everywhere yet not a drop to drink. At last the rains come. Bring the storms
with it. Wash away the sins of civilization. Someone smiles as she looks at the
dead man on the beautiful beach as the death of a freeze-moment. At a distance,
the debris of the World Trade Center falling from the sky and a clash of civilization
looms large – the morality of a race usurped by the anaconda of merchandised
sponsors who may tempt the basic instinct of the masses to catch the consumer
honey-bees in their flying nets and make Aladdin lamp a laughing stock. Later
when the Trojan liberals raise their heads from the dead ashes like a Phoenix
and ask for restoration of the basic needs of the cavemen enjoyed since the
dawn of the human race. Not everybody is able to be 'smart' yet the enthusiastic
today’s smart boy throws a gala birthday party while hungry
people starve of want for a few grains. They have to live to die as
the rich engage in war and strife. And the balloons of wistful dreams begin to
float. The faces begin to smile. Smile of joy spreads a distinct line on the
moustache of surrendered soul. Love thy nature.
