I Wish To Walk On Earth Poem by Sankhajit Bhattacharjee

If you try to fly high,
the earth will never permit you to walk-
if you want to move forward, you will surely fall.
If you try to roll about on earth,
dust particles will make you untidy
and you will get kicked like a football.

I wish to walk on earth.
I will never try to jump,
so the question of flying never arises
and my shoes will protect me from dust.

Blindness is death,
pride is breath
and forgetfulness is hell.
