Ever so silent in pain <br />Dour in death’s anguish <br />Called dumb by us men <br />To have their strength I wish. <br />Dumb yes without a remedial mean <br />No succor for them no medicine <br />In my backyard under open sky <br />These mute little fluffs quietly die. <br />I feel remorse a passing penitence <br />To have never been able to bridge the distance <br />Act in time for the help of a vat <br />Can’t count my humaneness, it’s just a poor cat. <br />Poor yes but with a strength underneath <br />To brace death the way they do <br />Uncomplaining till their last breath <br />Leaving me a lesson or two!<br /><br />Pradip Chattopadhyay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-dumb-wish/
