Gandhi Statue, The Floodlight, The Lonely Crossroad Square And The White Ambassador Car And The Lonely Viewer On The Eve Of 15 August Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Gandhi Statue
At Gandhi Crossroad Sqaure
Leading to village pathways
With a few houses littered around,
The white Ambassador car parked near
And the lonley viewer seeing Gandhi
In the night-time loneliness
Of the floodlight
A night before
The Great Old Man, Father of the Nation
Paying tributes to in a huff
As for loneliness and manlessness
When the ambushed grey jackals waiting to come out
And the street dogs sleeping around the dais
On the cemented road.

The life-size Gandhi Statue,
The lonely crossroad of the Gandhi Square,
The street dogs sitting around and sleeping,
The ways leading to villages and the country
But the jackals seemingly loitering,
The white Amabassador car parked near the steps to
And the lonely man paying homage, tribute to.
