Paradox To Doom...

 

This is ‘Kalikal” when everything and everyone

Will act just the opposite.

Rains will flood and create havoc at

Untimely times, cold waves during summer,

And as the heat burns you in winter,

Look around and inside yourself my lovelies.

 

Are you a doctor for whom the patient’s well being

Is the last priority on your list?

Are you a lawyer who saves those

Who are eating away the society’s fabric?

Are you a teacher for whom moulding the

Younger generation is just a chore done half heartedly?

Are you a farmer who is flooding the soil

With pesticides, and making the food poison?

 

Are you a wife spending fortunes on beauty products

While your house is in a total mess?

Are you a mother chasing her passion,

Who is not available

To kids in their lonely moments?

 

Are you spitting on your wife’s face at home,

When your colleagues in the high-tech office,

Are applauding your foreign education and

Position in the company?

Why child, was there excessive production of saliva

In your mouth, that you had to download it where you did?

 

And then, as a CEO, when you slapped your wife,

Who is also highly educated and your colleague,

Was there no inner voice telling you not to go ahead

With this heinous crime?

Is this how you are paying back to those mothers,

Who brought up their daughters so lovingly,

And gave them to you in marriage?

What happens to their tears for the daughters’ pain?

Will Mother Parvati be disturbed too and

Bring justice?

 

Look deep inside, are you going with the flow,

Or are you exercising the power

That the Almighty has given you?

Yes, there are some who do so, it is they

Who are helping to maintain balance,

And giving hope to those who want

To live life in alignment with

The Universal precepts.
