Lonely man,
Lonely world,
And lonely the ways of life.
...
Ladies and gentlemen dance you, here dance I,
Even not,
Shake your legs,
Today's world,
...
Maya my wife,
Maya my son, my daughter,
Maya my life, my world,
Maya my house.
...
The history of earth, the existence of life on it, the circumstances of it,
The world spread over, I know them not,
What it is life, how the things of it, I know them not,
How earth has come up, what had it been before
...
The whole world is a criminal and they are good,
Righteous and virtuous enough,
The police, pleaders and judges,
The whole world is a criminal
...
The modern world from the saleswoman's point of view
A big bazaar
And man as customer going to buy and sell.
...
The world has greatest fears from the fanatics and fundamentalist,
The zealots and religiously blind people,
Resonably dead, logically dry,
But call they themselves holy and pious
...
The origin and the end of the world,
What the origin,
What the end of it,
I do not know
...
My daughter only daughter,
Simple and lovely,
Moving alone
On the path of life and the world,
...
Smokes, smokes, smokes,
Only smokes,
Smokes and ashes.
...
Simanchal Patnaik's Delightful World of Poems
which appeared in 1982
from Sarala Publication, Berhampur, Orissa
is a volume of rhymes and labored compositions
...
In this world
Wide and vast,
Who is my own,
Who is my own
...
The world will not end in wars,
But in fanatical raids and bombardments
Carried out and executed
By the fanatics
...
The world has changed,
But the fanatic will not
Even if it perishes.
...
Fanatic, in which,
Which world
Live you,
Whose,
...
The world has greatest fears from the fanatics,
The religiously blind people,
The sons and daughter of conservatives and the orthodox,
It does not matter whether they are educated or not,
...
You, my love,
Are lost in transcendental meditation,
Mental, cosmic and catalytic,
The mind meeting with the soul
...
The world has changed,
But my communist clerk
Will never change,
Will remain the same communist
...
I am a dramatic persona
Walking in the theatre of the world.
A persona in the theatre of life
...
The beards, I think, are the causes
Of terror attacks,
Unkempt and untrimmed,
Not the French-cut
...
On world Women's day
Felt I
The nerve and the pulse,
The heartbeat and the heartthrob,
...
On World Women's Day
Thought I
Of the women's rights.
...
On world,
World Women's Day,
Felt I,
I
...
On World Women's Day think I
Of Nirmala,
Patita.
...
Selling the wife in a fit of drunkenness,
Turning into the mayor
And comes back to senses
Finds he int eh eye of a storm,
...
On World Women's Day,
Felt I the pulse of feminism,
Lakshmana drawing the lakshmanrekha,
Sita crossing over unknowingly,
...
On World Thinking Day,
Thought I about life and its times,
On World Thinking Day,
Thought I about the history of earth, life and man,
...
Away from the world of yours
I am going,
Going away
From the world of yours,
...
The world has turned into a mart
With shopping malls, beauticians and designers,
Florists and saleswomen,
Managers and executives,
...
If the umpiring decisions had been poor
And not up to the mark
During the World Cup Indo-Bangladesh match
Then Sheikh Hashina
...
A practising poet
He knows it not
The 21st of March
As World Poetry Day.
...
In a world ravaged and ravished by
The infatuation for lust
And guile in the heart,
How to grow reverence
...
Mechanical life, mechanical world and relations,
Everything appears mechanical and technical
And artificial,
Man as robot working day and night,
...
The world is full of fanatics
Burning in communal fire,
The frenzy, fever and fire of it,
The flames singing them,
...
The poets are most selfish men
In the world
As they remain least concerned
With other things
...
The world has greatest fears
From the fanatics
Who will take the sleeps away
From your eyes,
...
This world is Yours,
Yours, my God,
This wide world
And the bluish above,
...
Withdrawn from the world I am writing a poem for you,
Will you value my words,
My poetic theme and substance
Which engage me?
...
At that time you will remember my love
With tears into the eyes of yours.
I too could not value you
And now at the time of departure am feeling it,
...
Who Says That The World Is Going To End? /Since My Childhood I Have Been Hearing It That The World Is Going To End
Since my childhood have I been hearing this
And they saying it
Very soon the world is going to end,
...
When I will be no more, you will come to feel it, my love,
Who was I, what did I do for you,
How do you order me and do I the work at your command,
You like an officer ordering and I doing your work,
...
My World A World of Maya And Moha/ The Philosophy of Maya
The houses that I have built are but the houses of maya,
All that I have built,
All the houses that see you are the houses of maya and moha
...
There are many great men in the world whom we know them not
And when they pass away, we reget as for not giving flowers
When alive.
...
The world has greatest fears from the fanatics,
The zealots, conservatives
And the orthodox people
Who just look to be liberal
...
Today's is a world of rhymers, poetastsers and petty poets,
Commoners and non-poets
Calling themselves poets,
Small poets too not,
...
The world is maya, moha
And it is difficult to cut the bonds of illusion,
The cobwebs of maya,
This house, family, life and world,
...
Where had I been when I was not in this world of the sun and stars,
Where was I when I was not,
You tell me,
Can anybody tell?
...
