Himanshu Parida Poems

Had I been a bit more responsible
and not closed my eyes to
what were happening all around,
had I done my role as a citizen of this country
...

Do you think;
by keeping quiet and maintaining
a deadly silence
You would wash off your hands
...

Had I not heard you I still would have the hate for you
Had I not seen you perform, I still had the arrogance
Of not looking at you.
I only heard of you
...
