Man to Solve

by Pranab Ghosh / July 14th, 2019

When relationships crumble,
When opinions differ,
When ego becomes supreme,
What has Man to do?

When time denies you the dues.
When people turn their faces away,
When friends behave as unknown
Entities, What has Man to do?

Succumb…
To pressure…?

Stand up and fight?

Make new friends…
New relationships…
New times…?

Can violence solve
The problems?

Can subjugation
Be the answer?

Can peace talks remedy
The anomalies?

Only Man has the solution!
