ONE-EYED DEER <br /> <br /> <br /> I never realized your greatness <br /> when you were there with me <br /> I never knew exactly where the shoe pinches <br /> and the road is marked with bloodstains <br /> <br /> when everything was assured <br /> rice fields cattle friends <br /> flatterers thronged like bees <br /> and I never realized loneliness <br /> why the heart aches in the midnight <br /> <br /> now I have known what is poverty <br /> I know hunger and need of sharing <br /> why one hand is incomplete without the other <br /> I realize now how one ear feels <br /> without the cooperation of the other <br /> <br /> so today I can’t be an one-eyed deer <br /> even if the world so desires <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Rajkumar - Seychelles<br /><br />Rajkumar Mukherjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-eyed-deer/
