No Follower Poem by Gajanan Mishra

I don't want
Anyone should
Follow me,
I know
No followers
Is well and good.
It is sure,
I am not a guru,
Or not a man
Who is powerful.

Similarly,
I also do not like
To follow anyone.
But I follow each one,
So long as my
Conscience does not object.
And once I received
Objection I stop
Then and there.
But before doing that
I expect all good.

My life is panic,
And I fear to live,
And I invite death,
But not as a coward,
But to see the courage
Therein me.
The death is my follower,
And I am the follower of nectar,
Known to everyone here.
And it is well known
To each one that I am a poet
And death has no guts to touch me.
