By Narayan Prasad Mishra With the appearance of YouTube, now we can see and hear anybody's songs or speeches at any time at our convenience. I often check the topics of interest and sometimes scroll and check youtube with curiosity to know what is there to watch. When I do it, I come across various people - singers, astrologers, analysts, swamis and spiritual masters, world leaders, national leaders, etc. I generally listen to songs and spiritual masters. No doubt we get some peace and feel pleasant from them. Sometimes I listen to our political leaders because the politics of the country and their views affect our lives. So to know it I give some importance to them. However, I strongly feel they do not speak their minds. Most of the time, we know, speeches are meant to present yourself as honest and sound to the eyes of the people and do not match what you are. That is all. Based on my experience of eight decades of life and suffering, I have this view. As a result, I wrote some poems about speeches. I write poems and short stories based on our lives and suffering. Perhaps the communists in Nepal call it Janabadi Sahitya (Progressive Literature). In Nepal, our Communists love progressive literature and writings based on people's real lives, problems, and suffering. But so far, they have not been able to prove that they love to work to solve the problems of suffering. They have not proved that they are not for themselves like other socialists or democrats. Among the poems about speeches, the main ones are: Kya Ramro Bhashan Garchhan (How beautiful they give speeches). Byaktitwa Ra Bicharharu (Personalities and thoughts). Sabai Gyani Nepalmai Hunchha (All the wise are in Nepal). All these poems have been published and are in my poem collection book Umliyeka Pidaharu. "The third one, only with its English translation, is given below because it takes more space in the paper and may not be practicable if I give all of them here. This poem was published in Naya Nepal Post on March 8, 1985 (Falgun 18, 2041) Poem in Nepali  Poem translated into English  All the wise are in Nepal  Narayan Prasad Mishra The quality of this soil is so Here, honesty and conscience are only in the speeches. Here, selflessness and service are only in talk. The work and activities May not be anywhere, Here, in the interviews with people You see many things Here are many, greater than Great Budha, Gandhi, and Marx Search in recently appeared interviews All the wise and enlightened of this globe are in Nepal, the land of meditators. The above poem was published in 1985, five years before the movement of 1990. The poem was written at the time before the multi-party democratic system was established in the country. It was written and published 23 years before Nepal became a republic. We now have many new leaders - Democrats, Communists, Royalists, etc. All our leaders - K. P. Sharma Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda, Madhab Kumar Nepal, Jhalanath Khanal, Shere Bahadur Deuba, etc. are not less orator than other colleagues though some are wittier and humorous than others. They give excellent speeches and present themselves better than Mahatma Gandhi of India, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Abraham Lincoln of the USA, Chairman Mao of China, and Vladimir Lenin of Russia. Sometimes we see them better than Legendary King Ram of Ayodhya, India, in their speeches who was a flawless king and considered God Narayan's incarnation. All of them are good speakers. But I love the speeches of K. P. Sharma Oli and Rajendra Lingdel more than others. K.P. Sharma Oli's speeches are always full of wit and humor, whereas Rajendra Lingdel's speeches always have an appreciable patriotic taste. But we know the situation is worse than before in action. No one seems to follow their own speeches when the person has the authority to implement them. No one seems to follow the standard they set to criticize and comment on others. Not only do they do the best work based on their attractive speeches, but very often, they seem to be doing the work just the opposite. What can be more hypocritical than this? I need to agree with Rajendra Lingdel that most people consider the leaders of political parties as liars, cheaters, thieves, and dacoits. That is not distant from reality. narayanshanti70@gmail.com
