She is Coming
8888888888

She is on her way to Earth
From somewhere far far away
For reasons unknown her arrival
Makes Kolkatans happy & gay

There is bitterness,greed,hatred
Soiling the shiny dresses flaunted
"What man has made of Man"
Reverberates in Her ears
As she traverses the galaxies

The lion yawns half asleep
Floating through the eons of Time
"There are more vicious lions
at the place where I am going.
But they wear human masks"

She has to surrender to big brothers
They are the kingpins
At the drop of a hat
Commoners roll like ninepins

Rolling like unwanted garbage
In stale garbage slime
She loves them too

Branded clothes & handed clothes
Old repaired sandals & spic new ones
A city of extreme disparities
Would you like to write a thesis ?

Like waves on a crowded seashore
She strikes with froth and foam
We'll cool our heels in the water
Soon she'll return to Eternal Master

Let's welcome Her like a long awaited guest
With chants , drums, bells, smoke, et al
She is one of our family after all

I Wish

I knew something great was coming to take on the wicked and lying, miscreant abhorrent apostles of evil. I wish. (Hi Bish, you give us hope). :D

The poem was on Goddess Durga

She has now returned to her heavenly abode. She'll visit again next year. We Kolkatans feasted on her blessings. She has enough & to spare.
