Forgotten

a poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

We have forgotten to laugh.
We are busy with our own work.

We have forgotten to obey.
We are busy with our own will.

We have forgotten to help.
We are busy with our own pleasure.

We have forgotten to thank.
We are busy with our own existence.

We have forgotten ourselves.
We are busy with our own lock-down.
