Necessary

a poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

Teachers telling
It’s necessary to learn
Some learning with enthusiasm
Some sinking in unknown sand

Preachers calling
It’s necessary to do
Some doing with effort
Some dying out of hunger

Let me learn
Let me do
Let me stand on sand
Let me defeat hunger

Obeying teachers
Obeying preachers too
