First May! Poetry by Murlidhar Translated by Jam Jamali

FIRST MAY!

It is a desire

to overstep

the poverty line.

It is a wish,

to fill the hell of hunger,

with a loaf of bread.

It is a dream,

to cover up

bare bodies of naked men.

it is a yearning for,

restoration of health,

of the helpless children.

it is a flutter,

for elimination of an uneven

and discriminatory dispensation.

A struggle for

achieving the all,

is

First May!

First May!
