Gajanan Mishra Poems

I am Kunduli of Mushaguda village,
Koraput district, Odisha, India.
See I have committed suicide hanging
Myself at my residence.
...

Eat, drink and make merry
But watch your own behavior.
You have a lot at stake,
Regret not later.
...

Who is a liar?
The minor village daughter?
The police? the judge?
All are here,
...

ମୁଁ ମୋ ଅନ୍ଧାରକୁ
ଧରିଛି ଜାବୋଡି
ଆଉ ଖିଲ ଖିଲ ହସୁଛନ୍ତି
ମୋର ଶକ୍ତ ମାଂସପେଶୀ।
...

All dogs and cats,
All on our ways.
And we are safe
We are the sky.
...

What do you
Mean by distance?
And where is it?
I wonder and wonder,
...

ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଆଉ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ର ଆଉ ପ୍ରେମ,
ଫୁଲ ଆଉ ପାଣି ଆଉ ପବନ,
ଗରିବ ହେଲେ ବି ଏସବୁ ମୋର ଜୀବନ।
...

ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଆଉ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ର ଆଉ ପ୍ରେମ,
ଫୁଲ ଆଉ ପାଣି ଆଉ ପବନ,
ଗରିବ ହେଲେ ବି ଏସବୁ ମୋର ଜୀବନ।
...

Rightly said Nibedita,
No reasons to take personal,
Nothing is ours,
Nothing to think serious.
...
