Vachaspati Dwivedi Poems

Life is no sanctuary
Of desire and fulfillment
Each day extends
Vagaries of nothingness
...

Pulling, pushing the weight of life
Through the years,
I reached the crossroads…
...

Dressings, bitter and sweet
Sour and stale
Bright and dim
Perplexing and dazzling
...

“India is shining! ”
“India is incredible! ”
“Jai Jawan, Jai Kisaan! ”
Nice slogans indeed!
...

My father once said...
There were leaders and people
Forced in slavery
Doing Satyagraha
...

I have a home in memories
Small but fulsome,
Unknown, but near to my self
Where I was brought up in half clad, dusty clothes
...
