Poem
Vinod Kumar Shukla
A Man Had Sat Down in Desperation
A man had sat down in desperationI did not know the man
But I knew the desperation
So I went to him
And extended my hand
Holding my hand, he rose
He did not know me
But he knew the extending of my hand
We walked together
We did not know each other
But we knew walking together.

A Man Had Sat Down in Desperation
A man had sat down in desperationI did not know the man
But I knew the desperation
So I went to him
And extended my hand
Holding my hand, he rose
He did not know me
But he knew the extending of my hand
We walked together
We did not know each other
But we knew walking together.
