Krishna Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

The name ‘Krishna' is common in India
In a circle of 1 KM radius
One can find at least five ‘Krishna'
Not only these days but in ancient India too
It was even five thousand years ago
When Mahabharat was not written.
If you have read Mahabharat
One of the two great epics of India
You know about ‘Krisna'
As a politician sitting on the chariot,
As Radha's lover with a flute in hand
And as a little son of Yashoda.
They are really three different Krishnas
Not one … as shown in Mahabharat
They were like three different paragraphs
In the course of about seven thousands years
They joined together, become like an essay
Become lord Krishna of Mahabharat.
