Babu Ram Shrestha ‘Yatri’
Confidently
I have seen
I have suffered
I read every day
Rulers
My experience
Is longer than that of the rulers
They keep coming back
I will not return for generations
What a tidal wave of change
I am living the same life in a corner
Because
The work he earned
Damai he earned
It’s me.
