I won’t say you to trade honestly but to split a hair
For yourself in this hot ground; as none would offer
His own part or potion at your moment of deep despair;
But cast his lewd glance at your woman and coffer.
It sounds bad for the writers of the noblest truth.
But, just test him what does he do for his stolen broth.
Swapan Kumar Rakshit: He is an Indian poet who lives in
Bankura, West Bengal. He teaches physics for his
