Poem : Next Agenda

~Gopal Parajuli~Gopal Parajuli
Translated by Tek B. Karki

The country has been turned into a battle-ground
And all of my
Security-passes have been torn out.
Desirous of the victory of human rights
I have been arrested by you,
Gods being disinterested
Were witnessing a show.
Whence did I become Power?
My poetry knows better.
Even though, alleged
Ignored, I’m.
Proclaiming a new God
For a new world
I have been under your injunction
When frustrations, pains and restlessness
Found a shape within me
I was awakened,
And, then I expressed myself:
Alienated from the Time
My thoughts
Have to be identified by you at certain point.
This time
The symbol which I am shaping up
You cannot escape without complementing it.
I will control
Your mechanical and worn out influences.
You cannot express
The stream of modern consciousness.
Against all of your influences and impressions
I will declare for a self-governance
After looking at your old photographs
From where I am advancing/ the ailing viewpoints
I sign up a document now
For the end of a dialogue between us.
