Poetry As Classical Scholarship, A Search For Scholasticism Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Poetry as classical scholarship,
A search for scholasticism and pedantry,
Loss of moral values, spiritual things,
The classical scholar as an unknown citizen
Passing his days in anonymity,
But the command over
Admirable enough,
Never to be found again,
His mood and temperament
And sobriety.

What it there in name and fame
As those run after
Who are worldly by temperament,
But the scholars care not for,
They pass their days in utter anonymity
And people try to remember them
When they are not,
Oh, before we could know,
They pass away unknown and unseen,
Scholarship classical,
Reflecting golden-golden and shining,
As if wild blooms awe-struck by his presence.
