Jayprakash Narayan, What Politics Are You With Herdsmen, Goatmen? N Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Jayprakash Narayan, what politics are you
With the herdsmen, goatmen, cowboys and buffalomen,
The unmoustached students and immature minds,
Fools and bluff-masters,
Thugs and looters,
Loafers and roamers?

The countryside ruffians and rustics,
The blunt milkmen, the washermen, the barbers,
The foolish astrologers and horoscope-makers,
The vegetable-sellers, the oil-pressers,
The tribals and the fishermen,
The blunt warriors and the cleverly intellectuals,
The illiterate fools and rustics
All you are hiring
To form the government?
