Domestic Shades 5
And
Theft has many styles
It leaps in the dark of dawn
Leaping over the fence for flowers
Tweaking with a handy hook-stick
Sometimes standing on a bicycle-seat too
Unhesitating house to house on a daily routine
And
On a query caught at times
Surrendered is God for flowers
I release God from my heart to grant verdict
For discovery of truth in yester-times
Even bhakta Ramdas was jailed
Why not today?
God is away while investigating
Goddess, busy declaring a sample deluge..
Quakes, volcanoes, cyclone tsunami, floods;
And masacre of wars, decoity, booty, loot,
Scandal, corruption, rape e.t.c, e.t.c
From inlaws to inland and international laws, loss
Printed black illustriously
Horrified paper-boy hurls the newspaper
A country wherein knowledge, so paper, books are 'Saraswathi'..
I pick up and plead 'why can't a good goddess be'?
And these days..
A divine floret (Bhakti Malar) supplements so the news-paper
