Servents by Gieve Patel...poetry analysis
Critical appreciation:-
Gieve Patel begins the poem with very tragic sound and words.He expresses his remorse upon poor Indian servents who, comes from villages and sold their farming land for city life. He emphasises the pain of their heart and their mentality about insufficient places they acquire in the city.
Therefore, he begins the poem from the night scene where lights are shuts down and darkness prevail around the scinario. This is the darkness of mind also, where people enters with their craving in the mind. The poet analyse their physical appearance,that all these servents who have been always departed from the luxurious life. Their skin colour turned black and their fingers are skinny and shiny because of they inhale cigrette. Smoke all the time by getting tired from their tough life style. As they also be habitual of tobacco chewinging so that an orange spot always mark on their rough palms.
In the second paragraph of the poem the poet describe about those whose hands are always open and shut to bring something for them. Those unaffected city people who are completely unaffected ,with their tough life-style. These servents who serve the human beings like them their life is always full of uncertainty. Their eyes roaming around the darkness.
In the last and third stanza of the poem , the poet, emphasises their pain and suffering due to unnecessary travel and their mouth get dried because of unspoken attitude they have adopted for themselves. The poet compare then with animals' who are unoffensive and have no reason of leaving . The dark flame of their unfulfilled dream reflected in their eyes. In the city , they treated less than animals. Their mouth hang slightly open without knowing what to do.
Conclusion:-. The poem by Gieve Patel is like a collection of those poor picture of poor India. The time when people left their farming land for the city life, for better earning and then converted themselves into mere animal like slaves. The poor of India who predominately work as servants. There is no progress and no reprieve . Their life becomes a poor example , where they live like an animal and sleep like dead.
