We are An Enigma

by Sharbaaniranjan Kundu

As I age

Nothing seems absurd to me

As we are all so absurd.

Human beings are strange phenomena

As we are all so different.

Our pupils are different,

Our finger impressions are different,

Our palm lines are different.

None of us think alike,

We only align.

What are we?

Angels

Or haiwans?!

What makes us think,

What makes us work,

What makes us perform.

We are an enigma.

Precious quintessence of dust as Shakespeare says perhaps !

Please read 'haiwans' instead of "bananas". I have used a Hindi word intentionally. Editor, kindly change the word "bananas" to 'haiwans'.
