Chiranjibi Paudyal Poem
Since the known civilisation, rules have changed
for positive progress and prosperity of people and
community and country across the entire universe.
Rules do not drive backward but always move forward
for the coming decades and centuries and millennia
education, health, development and progress
move for the righteous path of peace and prosperity.
But suddenly talks of mediaeval mentality reappears
out of context, out of time, out of issue in the whim
the culture of killing like hunting age of the past
like the medieval maniac massacre
must be gone, must be stopped and must be banned
from the face of human race.
But the culture of carrying gun
like in the hunting age
before the civilisation began
before mankind learned basic needs
still continues in the civilised nation.
Is this the civilisation or the mockery
of democracy and liberty and human rights?
Of hundreds of thousands and millions
of innocent civilians:
children, students, men and women
of all ages and races and gender and geography
have become victims of guns.
Gun kills because its purpose is to kill
nothing right it does
gun is made to kill those who violate rules
who disagree with the established
norms and rules and regulations and values.
But your guns are killing
innocent people, innocent children
studying in schools and colleges and universities
working in the offices and industries
But why? But why?
You do not need:
big talks, big debate and big discussion
to control guns
just stop selling guns, just ban guns
like everywhere in the world.
Even the dangerous dictators
do not and did not allow guns.
Even Hitler, Mao, Kim, Lenin or Stalin
did not allow guns.
Guns are not human
guns do not make you great again
Stop guns. Ban on guns.

Chiranjibi Paudyal Poem
For you we sacrificed everything
our property, our family
our friends and neighbours
and our own lives
thinking you will be our
saviour.
At the most difficult time
of our life or known history
you betrayed us
leaving us like a goat
in front of a butcher
who is rising his sharp sword
being ready to slaughter.
Question of trust
This is not a question of us only
your trust, friendship and honesty
is not for one time and one nation
this is universal
from Saigun to Sangin
you showed your real face
plunging us to the mire
you left closing your ears
when none can listen our voice
amidst the no man’s land
making us food
for the crying foxes and wolves.
