a bhaiyya
from uttar pradesh
hunting for hope
he came
away from
his hometown
life was never
the same
a political
scapegoat
for the
shortcomings
of his own leaders
he took blame
called a bhaiyya
his name
his lifes struggle
smell of mustard
oil his notoriety
to fame ...a pawn
in a game
once trampled
by a horde of
white elephants
now beneath
the wheels of
a cosmic cycle
his fate limping
knock kneed lame
a candle in the wind
an enduring flame
