HE WHO LOVED GODS
He loves mankind
And the entire universe
Yet while happy people
Get together, fume and fret,
He steals away to his forlorn trek.
He is never alone.
In fact, he is
In the cherished company
Of his loved ones
Whom he invites in his lively sojourn.
I have seen him talking
To birds
And loving the trees
He loves squirrels at play
And dogs which meet him on the way
When winds come crooning
He gets in close proximity
To the earth from where
He listens to shrill
And still music of life.
How birds and insects are born
And finished as food
No one doth pine
No one complains
Against this system divine
We make so much of this life
Which only adds to the strife
We who die an unexplained death
Mauled and molested
Are silenced eternally unquenched.
