Whimpering God

Har Har Mahadevs, Hallelujahs

Allahu Akbars, other such chants
Rend this air with rabid fervour
Grumbling voices, paranoid faces
Eyes that see with seething rage
Loudly whisper lowly vengeance
Clamour of castes, religious frenzies
Bursting at the seams of minds
Speak so wild in sinister tones
Amidst these baleful battle cries
I sense a whimpering voice of Sense
Is that you, my castaway God
Trying to teach us fraternal bonds?
When you preach the words of love
Speak them a little loud and strong
Lest they drown unheeded
Dampened by this deadly din!

Ashok Krishna
