He Knows Not

By Arlene Nayak


As he sits drinking wine

And living his glorious life

Of splendor and the best of times

He knows not what they sacrificed.


He knows not the sleepless nights

He knows not what they did for him

He knows not the sorrowful times,

They went through to make him smile.


He knows not the wishes they made

The promises that they were forced to break

He knows not the crying of their soul

He knows not of their endless toil.



He knows not the money lost

He knows not of their undying love

He knows not the empty stomachs

He knows not their life of havoc.


And as he sits drinking wine

And living his glorious life

Of splendor and the best of times

He learns what they sacrificed.


He knows about their aching souls

He knows about the endless toil

He wishes he could ease their pain

But their lives had flown away.

Pain

By Ankita Sah How's pain? Someone asked me again. " Pain.." I wondered, Being thoughtless for a while... Is actually full of thoughts. An ocean so deep, you do not know if you will resurface. You keep
