Sankhajit Bhattacharjee Poem 226

Scientific Research Fellow in University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

Clerk

Everyday I had to listen from someone,

'Your father was a great scientist,

you are a clerk, you are not his able son'.

I did endure; never retaliated.

I cried from within in pain,

'My mother never received any treatment,

I never received education properly...

Still I worship my dad, my mom told me to do so'.

I never disclosed this in front otherwise

his repeputation would be harmed.
