Abhishek Rath is a native of
Inside my secluded tenement,
With the tenacious hold of poetic desire,
Holding my pen, eulogizing its nib,
I strive to write rhythmic lines...
The Pen indites supreme lines,
But in the protracted payroll,
The pen-holder's name is never seen.
This my pen protests every time...
But in the protracted payroll,
The pen-holder's name is never seen.
This my pen protests every time...
