THE SPECTACLE
Sometimes when a singer is singing
Some people start dancing
Creating a wonderful spectacle.
Saints always talk of divine music
Going on in the cosmos
Are we not here to create a spectacle?
There are very few who are tuned
To this music eternal
And fewer still who participate in the cosmic dance
Most of the people have no ears
For the music of creation,
And they find themselves at odds with life.
We move in the world like Asurs*
People who are out of harmony
With the divine.
*Asur is Hindi word used for monsters
***
THE LAST LAUGH
We move with certain perceptions
And always try to prove
That we were right.
We do not like
If someone belies our thoughts
About ourselves and otherselves
All debates and discussions
Have one thing in common
Each tries to have his end up.
And until we are able to see
Our stand is justified
We continue the dialogic fight
Even kids stop crying
Only when they realize
Their mom has agreed they were right
Lovers go on fighting
Till one of them admits defeat
And lets the other have the last laugh.
