Jorebungley Darjeeling Poems

Ode to the Mountains and its Amazing People

Amazing, Awesome, Astonishing
Beautiful, Brave, Bewildering
...

The Regret
Up the down winding road, I remember walking
In a hurry, but in an unhurried way
I knew you'd be waiting, so I didn't rush
...

In the original testament
it was never said
Gods had to be merciful and kind
only later did the humans add
...

I see bushes full of tea grow, drowning our myriad sorrows
Uncomplaining we work, in the hopes for a better tomorrow;
For centuries and some more years yet, we have been cheated
We till the land with our sweat; our cause continues to be defeated.
