Isolation

Isolation
P K Routray
Happy can I be
all around unhappy if I see?
Healthy can I be
sickness all-around if I see?
Wise can I be
fools all-around if I see?
Surely a “No” and an emphatic “No”.
For all and with all I have to grow.
Physical strength, moral fiber in me
my intellectual acumen and my knowledge if any
are from my society, from birds, animals and plants around too,
Hence my dedication and gratitude to all are overdue.
I cannot live in isolation
without my intellectual, emotional and physical contribution.
