Bijay Kant Dubey Poems

The buffalo men too leaders in bihar
Going with the black, black and oiled buffaloes
And with the bamboo lathis
And turbaned.
...

They say it that poetry is a dying art today,
Why do you write poetry,
What can it give?
...

God, save me, save me from the poets,
Indian English poets and poetesses,
Calling themselves Wyatt, Spenser, Chaucer,
Shakespeare, Milton, Donne, Marvell,
...

Poor India's poor daughter
Going to read
In a poor school,
A girl from the hamlet
...

Where there is a voice for peace,
A ceasefire
From the warfare,
Heavy bombardment and shelling
...

An Indian girl wanting to look like a foreigner
Has cut her hair short
To be bobby-cut
And has browned the hair
...

Who am I,
What my name,
Where my home?
...

The cinema halls
With the walkies-talkie photos
Of coloured and painted men and women
Depicted as heroes and heroines
...

Poet, poet, poet, God, where are You,
Are you listening to me,
O, God,
My God,
...

The dark daughter
Dark you, dark the world,
Dark the Creation,
Where to go?
...
