he is the common man
of uttar pradesh
poor miserly
his lifes base
his back
against the wall
he is a gone case
he lost the race
when he inked
his finger
he was back
in a maze
bhul bhuliayan
as always
elephants
in the park
as they graze
statues
that time
will raze
history
will erase
instead
jobs hospitals
schools colleges
in its place
misplaced priority
megalomaniac
display
political pollution
as the mind strays
a nondescript future
this old mans gaze
