struggling
on the road
back bent
an umbrella
serves as
tent tortured
by bad times
he repents
the wrong
people to
the parliament
he sent
instead of
building hope
parks statues
lordly elephants
including madam
her statue in stone
memories gone awry
of a regrettable event
the dalit is where he was
moneys on wrong projects
spent ...choked dreams
on the river bend
