I Do Not Know What Have I Written As They Are All Against Me? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

I do not know what have i written as they are all against me,
I know it well,
My fate and my destiny as a writer,
They will not let me?

Apart from my works on Daruwalla, Jayanta and Indian English poetry
And D.H.Lawrence,
They will examine the theses,
But I shall not.

The small college teachers, boys too shifted to the univ. deptt. will
Examine the Ph.D. theses,
Will take the viva voce exam as experts
Moving out to different universities.

But I shall not be able to take, nor shall I be called for
Instead of my studies and expertise,
This is India, the Indian intelligentsia and the literati
And what more to say to?


The small editors of literary journals too use the tools
To promote and popularize themselves,
To make it out, to do the bargain
And to oblige.
