Do you take note of humans rolling in filths And do subsist on means of their tireless labours - Deprived of 'elements of life' - with kiths And swarming in morass of urban gutters? I do, and see their beaming smiles e'er ain't Less glorious than light of the sun and faces Laced with impressions pastural and quaint Less serene and genuine than heavenly graces. So feel their soulful heart in love with things They have as gifts of God while mind does sight Modern desires as endless sufferings The day denying not food and peace the night. In paradise of life, they stately inhabit With limitless bliss, in fief of their limit. - N. P. SAMAL, POET, AUTHOR, ACADEMIC
