My Broken Umbrella

a poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

Heavy rain with wild wind
Umbrella broken
How to protect my head
Skull hard enough to withstand
Heaviness of waterdrops
Hair can grip the flow of wind

Life like that
Heavy rain is obstacle
Wild wind is destiny
Never bow
Yes, never bow
Umbrella, the crown, no more
Your prestige, your head
Your hair, the feathers of crown
