No Need To Give Me Prestige Poem by Gajanan Mishra

No need to give me prestige.
And who are you to give me prestige?
I need nothing from you.
I know you have nothing to give.
I am also not eager for power.
I am not hankering here or there.
Leave me, if you are kind enough, dear.
Leave me alone, I would feel better.
Where you are and what you are doing,
No need to know, that I know.
I know no difference between
The living and the dead.
And I want to stay like a tree
Or like a stone for my own sake.
