I Do Not Know Anything Poem by Bhargabi Dei Mahakul

In this poem a child is saying, "Newly born I am so innocent and crying. I am more trying to walk over ground. When I fall and stand I do not know. In land when do me sleep and weak up too I do not know. I eat and drink only while mom feeds me. I ever sink in ocean of thoughts of God. Between him and me a link is surely invisible. To this link many try to analyse, observe and see. I think of past death and recent pain get during birth. In lap of Earth how do I fall this I do not know at all. With love mother holds and touches softly. My whole wish gently reaches up to her. Although I thrash my feet in her lap she gets no pain. In love she puts her hand on me and does rain of bless towards me. It is definitely gainful for me that I feel. To get meal with courage I move and try to walk. She ever keeps real affection for me. My childhood dazzles and I creep by her care only. In home I crawl and follow her. While she worships God I too do the same eagerly. I do not know anything at all but I obey her order. She always tells me story and teaches the letter. Why do I born and die, about this I do not know anything. God plays the role of both father and mother. He is supreme one. Why do I cry? I do not know this, but he knows only being supreme father and mother." This poem is based on such theme of a child's emotion towards mother, Earth, nature and God, after birth and early childhood days. This is written in Odisha, India and dedicated to the people of the world.
