Unknown Citizen Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Unknown Citizen
At the Town Square
Lies it
The statue
Of yours.

People come
And go,
Pass out of sight,
But know it not,
Who you were,
Unknown Citizen!

But I have come,
Have come,
See you,
See you the things
I have brought.

You take, take the posies
Of flowers,
The bouquets
I have brought for you,
For you.

Unknown Citizen,
This is my tribute to you,
My homage to you
And to your greatness,
Which but i know, I know it.

I feel it, feel it
In your absence
How learned had you been,
How much respectful,
But how much unknown and unworshipped!
