Shoddy Path Poem by Saroj Padhi
Shoddy Path
Is this the beauty of our society
where ‘love' is a dirty word
meaning mostly the body
under a mind so shoddy
sex, an accursed being
in affairs oft' shady!
Are we the children of God
to rot like faded flowers
under thoughts so muddy?
Here relationships are either good or inimical
No in-between tolerance zone
Between differences mutual
in the path of our journey
to a place all weird and dark
in company of the bloody

In the most sensible approach, the poem deals with an important subject which, even now, is considered a taboo in our society despite claims of being modern in many ways. I like this poetic treatment of the topic though in its limited scope. Thanks for sharing the poem which should provoke a discussion.
