BESTOWED WORDS by Raja Mannar

Everyone asks, “How do you do?”
Everybody declares, “I am fine”
Now
This method of conversation
Has been passed on
Perhaps from the time
Humans found refuge in culture
The fact is that method of conversation
May have been conceived
So that a healing potency
Is present in the man
But
People of our times
Use it nonchalantly
For they don’t mean it
They only want to discharge it
And go about their work
Also
In the diaspora
There are some people
They find rude pleasure
In advertising the pains of others
To the world
Thus
The ones who disclosed
Will find them to be fools
Now
Because of these happenings
Many believe that they are better off
Dealing with their own problems
Rather than searching for comfort in people
However, the truth is
There are people out there
Who are “kindness personified”
They work in subtle ways
As they resurrect the man
And send him back
To continue his battle
For the fact remains
If that category of humans
Is not present in the diaspora
Life will be something very savage
