Of films and life

A Poem by Pradipna Lodh
"

Life is an uncut motion picture which goes on and we are lucky to act in it

"
Camera rolls 
Life unfolds 
Begins a one take shot 
Without any cut 
Emotions evolve 
Actors wear make up 
Of black patch under their eye 
Fine lines on their forehead 
Receding hairline on their head 
A cinematic climax starts 
With the characters going through 
Disdain, Hope, Joy 
The editor here is the one 
Who sends his actors to earth 
In the form of human beings 
It’s his will to cut or end a scene 
When he thinks,
That the life in his character has degraded 
It’s time to give him a new role, a new birth 
To start another film
