Stephen Gill As A Small Indo-Canadian Poet Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Stephen Gill as a Canadian,
Born in Pakistan
Then in India
And migrated thereafter
Is a Punjabi
Writing poems in English.

But as a writer
He is more of a propagandist
Popularizing and promoting his poetry
Which is but a flaw of his
To be marked by the literary historians
Noting his growth as a writer.

The Dove of Peace, The Flowers of Thirst,
Songs For Harmony, Divergent Shades
Are the poetry-collections of his
Apart from his short stories and novels
To proclaim him a fiction writer
Of distinction which he has earned
For himself.

Gill writes very simple poetry,
The poetry of love and humanity,
Peace, affection and bonding,
Sympathy and attraction
Rather than fissure, friction and faction,
Separation and detachment.

A lover of man and humanism,
Optimistic thinking and human welfare,
He wants to join the hearts
Rather than splitting,
A peacenik and a humanist
Gill is a poet of human values.
