I Do Not Know

Dr. K. K. Sinha

Am I a pitiful creature.
Cannot I confront honestly
the situation,
save the institution,
from the tragic sense of emptiness?

For the difficulty of living in a
complex world
is great, and many a
one struts and frets
cannot I stand and wait?

I do not know........I really do not know
Here at the gate of the university, I stand,
the past and future distinctly
demarcated and blurred
At this cross road do i stand.

I wriggle, I moan, I dream;
I shiver, I murmur, I sigh,
I hiss, I miss, I never seem to kiss,
Do I work out the problems of my life....
Do I ever know what I do.......?
I don’t know.........I really don’t know.
