Bijay Kant Dubey Poems

The world has changed
But my communist clerk will not change.
- -The Bargain For Power, The Lust For Power, The Greed For Power
And The Transfer of Power
...

Three odd friends, the bootlegger, the drug-trafficker and the woman-trafficker
Now cover up the news pages,
The bootlegger who comes with bottles ambushed in his rugged, ragged coat and pants,
Looking clumsy-clumsy, uncouth-uncouth,
...

The stories of life are many
I shall tell them someday.

...

Had Thou endowed with the genius of John Dryden and Alexander Pope,
It would have been great, but I do not have even a streak of their genius,
Had I, would have felt blest,
I would have, my Lord,
...

Why do you take so much of daru that lie you fallen
On the roads,
I mean Indian country liquor,
O daru man,
...

How have they debarred me negating my poetry?
You will startle to know how my friends have tried to debar me
From to be a poet,
How they have upped the ante?
...

O president, do not award me Param Vir Chakra,
Askok Chakra,
I know it that there is none to look after my family
After this,
...

My love is a red rose,
A red, red rose,
First time affair, first time love,
Love you,
...

Coming and slipping away,
Today coming with to change over
Into a yesterday
To be a tomorrow again.
...

Do not betray the simple
That poor simple girl.

Love but betray not,
Fear it always
...
