I often get a terrible feeling <br />These days <br />Of being powerless <br />Helpless, <br />Of grappling <br />Against forces <br />Beyond my control… <br /> <br />I shout, <br />I protest, <br />I scream, <br />I grumble <br />I cry, <br />But all in vain… <br />Because it’s all part of nature… <br /> <br />Everything that takes birth must die… <br />Everyone who is born must grow, fall in love, move away… <br />Everything that lives must change… <br />For better or worse, <br />And one can only watch helplessly <br />While the juggernaut of time <br />Tramples on everything that it steps on… <br /> <br />I shout, <br />I protest, <br />I scream, <br />I grumble <br />I cry, <br />But all in vain… <br />Because it’s all part of nature…<br /><br />Jasbir Chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/being-powerless/
