BABY KHRISHNA
We grew up impatient at times most because of the clamour
Of relatives; we grew up in the pure space of a toy and after
Leaving home we stood between the world and that toy.
Ever since, we looked for a consecrated event to supplant
The innocence of the toy with the hackneyed world weary
Measuring sticks of the dreary codex and convention
It is a never content recalcitrant will that separates us from
Innocence of the young adult who begins to believe in the
Power of adulthood, flings himself from innocence to debauchery.
That young man, the son of a power broker, who wants to bench
Press 200 lbs at the age of ten, will inexorably want to be a
Governor one day; many will bully others and take their toys.
We are not content to let children be as they really are; rather,
We engineer them into a hyperextension of ourselves to do
A bidding that we would have never dreamed possible on our own.
Who shows children as they really are without toying them around?
Why is it that we fail to see that this ascending boy will replace
These innocuous toys with weapons of terrifying ferocity.
This is not a will chosen by nature but a failure to recognize the
Difference of innocent playfullfuness with the responsibility of
True soul culture. This is the lesson of the baby Khrisna.
If many poeple like u where here in this world,who had done some justice to the word 'Intelligence'then this world would really been a better place for everyone of us.Now we ourself had made this place a hell,u r very right.And the life of krishna perfectly shows the way to live here in this world.It would have been a heaven instead,if we would have understood him rightly.'True Soul culture'.Some day it will emerge.lets hop so.When people gets their heads right,someday....!
thanx fo the poem.Its an inspiration.
