Census Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Since the procedure
of counting is faulty
I rely not on the report.

Since the words
Are not pure, the poem
Is not effective.

Since the sky is
Not there, the very
Existence of earth is doubtful.

Since the birds are
Not singing, how can
You say life is enjoyable.

Everything is here,
Root cause is I am in fear,
And I am not able to follow
Life's procedure.

The river, the mountains,
The forests and all creatures
Are there, but the defect is with me
And I failed to declare, I am honest.

Since I am not well,
All are not well,
And I am not able to
Correct myself yet.
