Why Me Of All? Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Why Me Of All?
Why despite His immense bliss
A tragedy like this
And why fate's such cruelty
Should of all happen to me?
We take to philosophic focus
And seem to self-servingly think
Without a thought, without a blink,
Why it should happen to us.
And why in such spells
To us and not someone else,
Yet, we all someone else
Oh be to someone else!

WHY His and NOT Her sir...............................
Why His and not Her? A pertinent question dear PP, but as brevity being the soul of poetry, I could not have said: His/Her. He or She exists in our imagination, and I'd say all that is good in here is God. In Indic philosophy, He/She is termed as purusha vis-a-vis prakriti, the spirit and material nature, and it does not refer to gender. Thanks indeed.
