If God was not like a king
He too would be standing
On the roadside
Declaring his intentions
Or explaining why he did what he did.

OF KINGS AND GOD
It is better to keep shut
And listen to what others have to say
Than to keep muttering
Something or the other
All the time.
It is the people
Who are discussing things
In open spaces
Kings do not bother
Nor speak more than a few words
They just give order
That too in a fixed voice
A king need not to explain
He can just say a line
Let journalists interpret His gestures
If God was not like a king
He too would be standing
On the roadside
Declaring his intentions
Or explaining why he did what he did.
With God it is his kingly silence
Which scares mankind,
Not his words.
Which no one has ever
Heard him speak.

THE OBJECT OBSCURE
If you follow this route
It can take you where it leads to.
The way is only one
But you end up where you want
At a time, we are moving
In one direction only
There can be two destinations
But direction, only one.
Two feet, or four,
Or just two wings,
Our movement follows the crow
However curvaceous the go
It is not the roads,
Rather the men lead to
Where their minds plan
Roads and feet are not to blame.
Walking for all the life
And making all the furor
We go back as we had come,
An object obscure.
