Prayash Gupta Poems

How badly, I wish I could wear clean clothes.
(I want to live in a peaceful world)

How measurelessly, I wish to wear clean clothes.

To immortalize your soul through my trembling verses...
Thou, greatest incarnation of God of our time,
The living legend-perhaps the living God,

Right,
Gone are those days, when man of little knowledge
dominated the entire society,

Powerful Orator and a great Scholar.

(Just open your eyes and see the comfort they find in me)

But they know that I'm Environment-friendly.

Please don't cut me; I'll serve you throughout my life.
(No, no we will cut you; we have to earn lots of money)

See, I'm giving you shade and fruits.
...

Hey man! What you have made of me,
I can't recognize myself, just see.
(Don't you know, we are the master of the World)
