I know the man and his women <br />For years. I know them as my <br />Neighbors and friends. <br /> <br /> Man, they said, <br />Is a social animal. <br />I search the origin <br />Of the Universe! <br /> <br />Birds cast their shadows on the <br />Ground but know nothing about: <br />Their wings never touch the shadows. <br /> <br />I wander around the world and <br />My shadows follow me <br />Like the Death. <br /> <br />Sometimes I am tired of them <br />But they are indifferent! <br /> <br /> <br />Men cast their shadows <br />Upon themselves <br />Like a supernova….<br /><br />Braja K Sarkar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadow-89/
