"A Portrait of a Degree Boy"
Translated from डिग्री माइला , Nepal Whether it's in
a roadmap of a world
or in a drop
or a lazy writer
whose incomplete sentence
by crossing
a mark of identity
or it's just like
a seed of cucumber
when viewed through
a glass slab
or a moth chewing
a tobacco leaf
The things like numerous controversy
famine & drought
floods and landslide
are the elements
that destroy
the perfume of identity
But
the people mandate
of our country says that
'our country is
the most beautiful
country in the world'
whereof
the people
of this land are
shy of getting
and expressing love
They are afraid
of living freely
rather than living in
a disgrace of
disguise stupidity
They think
it's better to die
rather than living
This country
has been left out by
Buddha and buddhe
This country has been sacrificed
by Sita and Bhrikuti
But the soul
of the martyrs
are roaming
and foaming
in their lost path
And the govt.
itself is carrying
vistas and visa
of Dv (Diversity Immigrant)
In this beautiful country
A degree boy
named
Dilliram Bhujel
is born in a
proactive manner of
coincidence.
Just like
A Mt. Everest
Urf
A Sagarmatha was born
after the first
great depression of
cretaceous
Highest mountain peak is called
Mt. Everest
But
in a depression of its axis
it carries a load of
thousands foot
in its private head
Then what is the value
of its elevation
A degree boy
is burning
and shadowed from inside
Like a snake is shadowed
by a rustic eagle
Than what is
the meaning of
his conscience
In this acre land
of exasperation
a jewel has become a stone
and
a man has become
a seeming degree boy.
