Who Will Be The Next Prime Minister Of India? Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Who Will Be The Next Prime Minister Of India?



Who will the prime minister of India,
Let me do the planchette and say,
Not through the media-orchestrated exit polls,
Who will the next prime minister of India?

I doing the planchette,
The spirits and souls talking to
And I going back to the days and times of
Jawaharlal Nehru, Gulzarilal Nanda,
Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi,
Morarji Desai, P.V.Narasimha Rao,
Rajiv Gandhi, Chandrasekhar,
V.P.Singh, Atal Bihari Vajpayee,
I.K.Gujral, Manmohan Singh.

Many became and many could not be
The coveted prime minister of India
Though they were many prime ministerial candidates,
Many aspirants and many able candidates,
Many rustics too thought of becoming
But the times chose them not, rejected them instantly.

Lo, my planchette is failing,
I taking the help of astrologers and palmists
And those traditional Indian Acharyas too
Bluffing in this regard and are boastful
As who will be the next premier of India,
The India of my dreams and visions?
