so

easy to love
difficult to hate
we’re brainy people
so

peace, a cheap cattle
war, a white elephant
we’re exorbitant
so

innocence has no
thrill,
crime needs intelligence
we’re educated, sapient
so

difficult to own up
easy to blame
the law of least effort applies
so

challenging to share
facile to snatch
we take it easy
so

difficult to act
effortless to say
we’re a tad lazy
so

I like the way you write so freely and naturally, Supratik, or make it appear so. You also manage some profound messaging using only a few lines. And you achieve this in spite of, like me, being confined for many years, to the rigidity of the sciences. Using a second language often helps, but even so, you’ve become a poet, and me, at most, an earnest scribbler of belle lettres in its loosest sense! This well-presented piece needs many reads to appreciate its subtlety. More power to your pen in 2023!
Best, Trevor.
