Ratnakar Rout Poems

A Jawan deployed to curb insurgency was abducted
and later on found brutally strangulated by the insurgents
The mutilated body was seen deserted in the desolate jungle path
He was the lone earning member of a poor farmer's family
...

The septuagenarian woman was seen from the den
Peeping outside through the dilapidated fence
It could not escape the eye of the curious journalist
Who immediately proceeded to the shelter of the old lady?
...

They were bought from the market
Like cattle, dogs, horses, cats
And other domesticated animals
But unlike them they were not the pets
...

My destiny has left me alone
As a lone pedestrian
In the midst of a solitary desert
I am eagerly thirsty
...

Mob rush every where
Entice the onlookers
Swelling up
Crowd in the sands
...

When an untouched is touched
By the sound of words
A volcano erupts
A flash flood overflows
...

A poor lady when could not clear up
Two rupees debt of a shop owner
Her husband was brutally strangled to death
After a brief altercation with the shop keeper
...

Just before breathing the last breath
What one can ponder over?
He may recollect the ugliest encounter
He had with his foes
...

Like the first dropp of rain
Touches the earth
The touch of some one
Touched some where in
...

To avoid my loneliness
I am in love with you
I do not know
If you reciprocate
...
