December 25th Poem by Gajanan Mishra

December 25th,
And what are we!

Are we railway junctions?
Are we lonely streets?
Are we split stomachs?

What are we?

We are birds!
We are flowers!
We are grammar!
Grammar of life is
There in us.

We are the glossary of
Opposite words.

We are going from one class
To the next higher class.

We have our own lethal weapons
To destroy us.

We are our own open streets
And open market places.

We are here in us
With us always.

For we know not
What we are,
We pardon us
On thus day
December 25th.
