vasudevan Desikachari Poems

Oh, my God the most merciful
I pray with utmost earnestness
For peace to prevail on Earth,
Which is now in a state of unrest;
...

A Parrot in the cage
Of a fortune-teller,
Was left for a while
In its cage sans the clutches
...

The night's darkness dwindles

And the sky above the eastern horizon
...

No food, no water and no shelter
In their own state of birth;
Where else will these people go
To eke out a living.
...
