Sir Salman Rushdie Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

My dear sir, Sir Salman Rushdie,
Knighted for your services to literature
And the freedom of speech and expression,
At the outset of it, I thank you, thank you, sir,
For your support
Extended to world community
In the need of

But, but sir, I have, have something to ask you
As want I to know about your story,
The story of your life,
The relationship with the girls,
The girls of your choice
To find out,
How did the marriage break down
And couldn’t you feel about?

You tell me, tell me first about Clarissa Luard
Then Marianne Wiggins
Then Elizabeth West
Than Padma Lakshmi,
How did you keep on proposing before
And promising of a long-time relationship
And did it shatter the dream of life?

May I ask you, sir, is life a romance,
Is our relationship one of a glass house?
Love, but betray not,
Give your heart and take
But break it not
As I believe it, sir,
May not be for you.
