Epitaph Poem by prabhakar bhatlekar

Search the grave of
unknown genius
in the land full of
wild grass.
Whole life the genius
searched, for what?
Not known!
He wrote many thousand
words and then
in the jungle of words
he searched
for what? Not known!
Readers jumped on
his books and searched
what he meant.
And then it became a
fashion to buy his
books and keep searching.
When a publisher went
through the manuscript
of his first book-
full of many thousand of
words he shook his head
saying that he'll
publish it but with
no name of the writer
'It will make you famous'
he quipped.
Genius shook his head
in agreement.
Now after many years
someone went to search
writer's grave
lost in wild grass,
curious for the epitaph.
And at last he found it
with the words on the
'Keep Searching'
