क्रिकेट के मौसम में बच्चों की मौत का मातम
भारत ने पाकिस्तान को क्रिकेट वर्ल्ड कप मैच में हरा दिया है
शायद ही कोई व्यक्ति ऐसा होगा जिसे जीत पर संशय रहा हो
हैरानी की बात यह रही कि इस मैच में टीम की जीत के लिये
देश भर में जगह जगह पूजा, अर्चना व हवन का दौर चला
(जैसा कि इस बारे में टीवी न्यूज़ चैनलों में दिखाया गया)
मैं नहीं मानता कि टीम इंडिया को इन ढकोसलों की जरुरत थी
अच्छा होता कि यह तथाकथित देशभक्त अपने आसपास देखते
और मुजफ्फरपुर (बिहार)में निरंतर मौत के मुंह में जा रहे
बच्चों की सलामती व सहायता के लिये कुछ ठोस कदम उठाते
यह नहीं तो कम से कम पूजा, अर्चना व हवन ही करवाते
जागरूकता फैलाते, आन्दोलन करते या किसी के आंसू पोंछते
मगर मारे जाने वाले बच्चों के गरीब मां-बाप का कौन साथ दे.
Right Sir! I'm Also a cricket player but it is not fair to be blinded in cricket love. It is very bad to negelect the death of about hundred children due to Chamaki fever. It is the duty of government that they should save them. But alas! The CM is in asleep. It is not with one particular place or state or man its extantion is vast.A concrete message in emotional diction.
I'm glad that my colleagues also share the concern regarding the deplorable state of affairs in public health system. Nobody seems to be responsible. Thanks for your kind words, dear Jagdish ji.
Rajnish ji, this is a brilliant eye-opener poem that deserves to be read by all. Thank you for taking deep interest in the current affairs of our country and for raising a voice through the poem. I fully support you Rajnish ji. A full vote for this poem.
Mishaps of this kind show the apathy and hypocrisy of govt machinery including health services in the country. This is called 'maximum govt. & minimum governance.' Thanks for sharing this common concern, Geeta ji.
This is a realistic exposition of the state of our people and country. We are forgetting our priorities in life. So much of importance is given to Cricket that all the other grave issues are sidelined or forgotten. This is a serious incident of hundred children dying in Muzzaffarpur in Bihar due to Encephalitis. The poor and the deprived class of our country continue to suffer without any aid or support. What a pity!
Part - 2 did not have a look on the poor children of Bihar who were victimized by death on Encephalitis. In this moment serious effort should be made to stop the cruel dance of death. Awareness should be taken. Dear Mangaji, you have rightly in right time striven through this poem to take step. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much, Kumarmani ji, for sharing your views and concerns in this moment of an health emergency in Bihar.
Part - 1 This poem is so moving. People in our India spare time for merry making, enjoyng games, earning wealth but seldom look after or help innocent children or poor families. Fans of Indian Cricket Team offered prayers in temples to win1st round match against Pakistan during the current World Cup ODI Cricket Tournament 2019 but
It shows our priorities- celebrating in the midst of ruins. Dying children are nobody's concern. Only rhetoric and nothing else.

I would like to translate this poem
I am with you dear poet Rajnishji, you have raised a very relevant point. Alas life is taken very lightly in this land of over population. We pass the buck to Karmas, yawn, and go to the next task in hand, for which have to strive, nay struggle. Such is life.
