Who Is There? Poem by Gajanan Mishra

1

Who is there?
Where is chowkidar?
But we are
Watching a star.

The star is there,
Corrupt free,
With no deal.

Truth,
And truth alone
Can make us
Understand honesty.

The very intention and
The integrity that matters,
To know the truth, we are eager.

A true poet
Should stay away
From politics and
Above politics.

A poet is there
To know the truth
In an impartial manner,
But in politics
One has to go with
One side.

For a true poet,
The universe is one
And all- one and
The same the birds,
The animals and all.
