Bijay Kant Dubey Poems

While going to school,
Passing through the connect way,
Red soiled and brownish,
I used to meet the sweeper ladies,
...

My love are you,
Are you,
My heart are you,
Are you,
...

Pandit Ravi Shankar, stop you,
Stop you palying the sitar
And say you
Whether a sitar player
...

Freeing tension, pressure
And load,
Untaxing the mind,
Offloading the brain,
...

Communal frenzy,
Religious fanaticism,
Extremism,
Loot, plunder, firing, setting ablaze
...

Gandi rajneeti ho rahi hai
Dilli mei gandi rajneeti ho rahi hai
Chahe wo left ho yaa right,
Right yaa left,
...

Had they really protested
They should not have continued
For more,
It is right they demonstrated,
...

They turned into
An album of photographs
So soon
Which
...

They staged it beautifully just like the theatre personae
The common people of common things commonly
Of the street theatres, nukkad sabhas
Or the people doing panchayiti
...

I saw it silently
The trains they burnt,
The shots they fired,
The street plays they staged it
...
