ramesh rai - I bow my head

I bow my head
not before the High Command
of any politics and religion
but before the people who
despite of tremendous labor throughout the day
earn little money to feed the family
take dry bread with cold water
and be ready for job next day.

I bow my head before those
who curtail food and milk of their kids
offer to the rivers, at the root of trees
feed the insects and creatures
to worship the nature

I bow my head before the tattered and
hungry people, engaged in chanting and worshiping
it is due to the divine endurance & worship to nature
prosperity dwells in this land.
