Dear experts,as Roadside stand has been added into the cbse syllabus.. the studymaterial&ncert solutions for this chapter are absent..so pls explain this poem stanza by stanza as i shall be posting the stanzas 1by1..thankyou! The hurt to the scenery wouldn't be my complaint So much as the trusting sorrow of what is unsaid: Here far from the city we make our roadside stand And ask for some city money to feel in hand To try if it will not make our being expand, And give us the life of the moving-pictures' promise That the party in power is said to be keeping from us. It is in the news that all these pitiful kin Are to be bought out and mercifully gathered in To live in villages, next to the theatre and the store, Where they won't have to think for themselves anymore, While greedy good-doers, beneficent beasts of prey, Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits That are calculated to soothe them out of their wits, And by teaching them how to sleep they sleep all day, Destroy their sleeping at night the ancient way.

pls google
