The Beggar Poet

shoots stories
disseminates
on the wide 
screen of
the internet
he shoots
pictures
of people
you will
never forget
a gambhir singh
of khumbong
village Manipurs
Best Story of
Homecoming
Ghar Wapsi .
At Bandra
Jmate Jamooriya
jab we met ..
I am not Nepali
I am Manipuri
I am an Indian
my eyes got wet
for the love that
his people gave
me I shall always
be in their debt
Map Karo Malik
memorable words
that reverberate
nostalgically in
my ears bringing
tears of love
seeking an outlet

If i had not helped Gambhir Singh at Bandra
As a beggar poet street storyteller it would have
my greatest regret ..thank you Parsoi Police Station
Officer Amitabh Singh Officer Priyobartan Singh
You two mission accomplished are Manipur Police s
greatest asset ....love is chant of the hearts minaret

The Beggar Poet

standing as a beggar at his door
i will be humble since honest
i swore i will keep changing in
life but i will never allow destiny
to change my ancestral core
i will die but i die every second
when i see the poor being abused
as the system snores ..money
has turned mans consciousness
into the crass commercialism
of street whores ..to reach into
the very temple of your heart
i shall walk head bowed
on all fours ,,

to a friend Sudarshan Pandey..with love and more

The Beggar Poet

gave birth
on the internet
an umbilical cord
attached to his
doomed destiny
still wondering
what happens
next a picture
a blog poeticized
juggled words
as text..framed
for the wrong
reasons tryst
with debt
a beggar poet
who she
accidentally
flushed in
her blue
toilet than
 haplessly
retrieved him
in a fisherman's
net ..half alive
half dead ..
furrows grooves
fate line reflecting
venus of her mound
on his bald head

a poem dedicated
to good friend
mind meld

a cause seeking a rebel

Who Forms The Next Government Or Who Is The Next PM ..Will It Change The Destiny of the Poor

i am not sure
politics of aggrandizement
politics of hate personal attacks
promoted by paid media
the common man endures
waters of hope poisoned
made impure .for this
malaise is there any cure
i am still not sure
the nation needs a healer
a messiah a savior
everything else obscure
the rich will become richer
the poor will always be poor

ab kin bar kaisi sarkar
politics of tour ,,,
