Deficiency

a poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

A young man was suffering from many deficiencies.
People laughed at him and told:
‘What will you do when you grow old?’
When he conveyed this to his parents, they cried-
Mother cried: ‘When you were in my womb, I got good nutrition never’
And father cried: ‘I was too poor to feed you and your mother.’
Deficiency in money
Brought deficiency of minerals in the body.
