The Northeast Label Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The Northeast Label



Just for he or she knows English
Or can attempt a few verses,
Transceate or translate into,
Just for that, call not one a poet
Under the label of the northeast
As poetry knows it no labels.

Are they poets only now,
Were there not before?
Neglected, ignored northeast,
Unexolored and unsearched
Must not be sold in such a way.

Assam is Assam let it be,
So are Arunachal, Manipur, Tripura,
Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram,
The lands and their cultures themselves
Are the things of reckoning
Rather than my trivial verses about.
