If Dickinson OR Tagore Existed In Present Times!

 

How Society Would’ve Adjudged Them Had Dickinson OR Tagore Existed In Present Times!

(EVEN AFTER 100+ YEARS)

 

Secluded, Informally schooled, & locked,

One writes to her only friend, who is Sue,

Another myriad pages of factual thoughts,

No currency conversion dream coming true!

One is a childless cat, can’t bear any more,

Another couldn’t in MNCs, jobs can endure;

Her poems unpublished, & letters obscure,

He too Not writing on activism, equality; more.

She doesn’t have a boyfriend, nor husband,

How long would He, survive on less wealth!

Look at people of their own age, how aged well since,

Alas! Emily & Rabindra paying for their Karma & Sins!😊
