POEM
By Ubraj Adhikari
Only one time
Transforming yourself to
Own parents
And
Own grandparents,
Having taken a deep breath
For a moment
When we touch our heart
A voice suddenly arise
You youths
The time is calling you
The time has requested you
Saying that
Culture, civilization, history, and norms
Are the factors of real life
When showing bucket, rope and circled rope
(Doko, namlo and damlo)
Asked at a quiz contest
The so-called new generation
Replying as pass – pass
Please try to understand that
The spade, small spade the tools of playing
Which were used by ancestor’s/grandfathers
And mill, spider, and fire bowl
Which were used by grandmothers
Always blossomed with
The smell of self-glory and independence.
So the history of the past
Always should awaken
To each and every unit of time
One should think that
Perhaps at the period, they did not think
The digital, wrap, pop and Tattoo
Not only of culture of rings at ear
The PhD. scholars
Who wear suits and tie
Who are not able to listen to the voice of soil/motherland
At the time of forefathers
There was no imagination
About Facebook and Twitter
Not any (good or bad) influence of copy-paste was there
Even though
There was a sense of
Life and world
Sense of soil and heart
As the Mount Sagarmatha forever
Mount Sagarmatha of self-consciousness
We bow our heads to them
Who are always living
As mountains of respect
But…
Who are living…the so-called living
Are not living
Nevertheless, they are dying
Oh, they are dying in every step
In their so-called modern life
The grand combination of manner, culture, and existence
The most, powerful combination
Not only at the edge of sharp weep
On ‘Khukuri‘
But, at the light of self-confident
Always enlightens,
The grand lights of youths
Are found at the spirit and courage
Which are waiting by the soil of the nation.
For a self-drop of your blood
Which are flowing at nerves of youth
The flow of self-consciousness
Should blow
Should run like a river
Because
Not only of us
The heritage of forefathers
That should for coming generations
A lifestyle to live freely
Without any hesitation
With self-dignity and golden existence
Should get an opportunity to be an independent
Should get an opportunity to be independent.
