TODAY -
Worshiping my daughter
Monoranjan Thakur *
As a young man,
I had held my own
Intellectual ambitions!
But they were frustrated
by social restrictions!
My poverty, my status as a man
Father and a husband and my social ethnicity!
In the evening of my life and laughter
Worship my only daughter,
She would fulfill
Unfulfilled dreams!
I adore her intellectual abilities with pride
I took her inquisitiveness in stride!
Fun will be in the shadows of forgotten ancestors
Fulfillment of unfulfilled dreams of those worshippers!
