In My Village Poem by Gajanan Mishra

In my village
Tikapali,
I have taken birth.

But who am I,
No one is able to
Know till date.

I am dying
At every day here,
Still, I am not
Able to know
For what, I am
Earning so and so.

I am here,
I am also not here,
Yet at every moment
I am kissing my nose.

No one is able to
Tell me, why they are
There with me
And without me.

Who are they,
The trees, the plants,
The birds, the animals,
I know not and yet,
I am with them all days
And all nights.

I know nothing,
And I mark
The time and
The situation is
Changing, changing.

I am not at my village,
At present see.
Yet the village is
There in me.

What does it mean?

I am living,
I am living.
