WORK OF ART
Pranab Kumar Majumdar
The ultimate gifts of sculptor
Are works of art, imaginative,
perceptive
Triumphs and defeats are but
momentary
And shadows are subjugated by focus
Of steadfast thoughtlines,
definitive, objective;
The sculptor
carves a niche sublimating loud cries
Submerging mortals for perpetuating
mementos
The chisel strikes the stone
articulately
Oozing out bloods paint the fingers
But bloodshed is an integral part
Of making a work of art -
Is not a war immaculate work of
art?
