No more of this poetry. <br />Bring on the hard, harsh prose instead. <br />Let the jingle of verse disappear <br />And the strong hammer of prose strike. <br />No need for the serenity of a poem; <br />Poetry, I give you a break today. <br />In the regime of hunger, the earth belongs to prose, <br />The full moon now reminds us of toasted bread. <br /> <br /> <br />[Translated from original poem 'He Mahajiban' (Benglai) ]<br /><br />Sukanta Bhattacharya<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetry-and-being/
