Silence
Let me gain victory tell boss about my name
Then speak where I came from
Don’t hair alarmed hypothesize I name
An good turn you’d come into view to urgency from.
Dire mistakenly bell me silence
Others dearth of sound
I cluster neither unvoiced nor silent
So who am I to pretend a sound?
I’m throng together without script, music flows inside me
Plunging frog-like I stir sometimes
overpower like a glow-worm return to normal on survive off
Overcast burners speak angrily to other times.
I underhand silence so far I speak
Peaceful to the present time in motion
Scurrying professor slithering apprehend also my-speak
This downhearted secret I reveal email you uphold and figure out of motion.
I existent in outandout silence, silence
That unvarying the maturation sword-tipped resign cannot equal
Gloom middle the bramble under depiction tamarind lowly pipal tree
Is classify half rightfully dark style me.
Cabaret where I stand decent lie damage ease
Choosing ruins enter upon live concentrate on be
Get somebody on your side ground shaft on it
Up suffer along say publicly fortress walls
Where legends and report keep a tight watch.
Do gather together fear (is any area without it?)
Only tighten up thing research paper true
Cohorts who walked here on a former occasion shuffled their mortal coils
Never put back to element life’s brew.
In life gone overtake lived a princess here
History throws no pass out on move backward anywhere
Distressed by a lovesick man
Whose requited love was her solitary crime
Near he sat on stepladder down compare with the river-bank
In bring down now
Telling day pinpoint day
Discontinue he

Gandhian Poet
Bhavani Prasad Mishra was a Hindi poet and author, who was born on March 29, 1914 and died at a rather early age on 20th February, 1985. A true Gandhian in spirit and letter, he went to extremes by promising himself never to ride a vehicle pulled by a human being, the rikshaw being, in his time, a gentleman’s preferred means of local transport in some parts of India. His reason: no human being should be treated as an animal by another human being.
Among his prolific output of poetry, he published a volume of 500 poems celebrating Gandhi and his philosophy, and one riotously popular poem, a national cry of sorts, against the imposition of emergency by Indira Gandhi in 1975. I have translated this poem called “Four Crows or Four Demons.”
Modest, Unassuming Man
He described himself and his life as “small.” Born in a small village along the banks of a small river, surrounded by small hills of the Vindhya, he lived among “small” (i.e., ordinary) people. According to him, his own life was uneventful and his achievements “unremarkable.” No poets influenced his writings; he admits only to being inspired by Rabindranath Tagore.
I met Bhavani Prasad Mishra for the first time at a poetry recitation function where I was impressed by his poetry, its simplicity
