What Is Poetry? Poetry As Siddharta's Going; Yasodhara's Lamentation And Breaking Down, Buddha's Escape To Forests As For Renunciation And The Tears Of Maya Breaking Down Miserably Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

One night Prince Siddharta coming out of the palace stealthily,
Leaving his son Rahul and wife Yasodhara asleep,
Which but they complaining of,
Why, why did he
Without saying to
And had he,
Would not have desisted from?

Yasodhara weeping, breaking down and in tears
And complaining the day after
His departure for the good of the world,
Abandoning his royal and princely robes,
Ysodhara feeling and repenting,
Repenting and complaining,
Why did,
Why did he
And had he to go, he should have,
Why did he without saying to her?

If he had, had to go, he should, should have
And had he, I would not,
Would have debarred from going
In search of Truth,
For the good of the people
And for the betterment of the world?
Yasodhara thinking about and weeping,
Breaking down and lamenting,
Oh, the inner heart takes to not,
Understands it not!
