A Poem of Leeladhar Jagoodi (in Translation)

A Poem of Leeladhar Jagoodi
(Translated from Hindi) -

Identity ~

From the garbage of yesterday
emerges today

pits that were dug, saplings that were planted,
now their row has come up
bricks were laid on the road
the drain was cleaned
the house white-washed
each item was arranged properly
everybody took a bath
ate desired food,
wore hand-washed ironed clothes

Wherever I see, I find
works all done by themselves

O God, You can labour
You can improve things
my salutations to Thee !!
