HERETIC
Rebellious unruly heart fumes,
angry,
Burning tons of oil sandal
sticks,
Incense fragrant incense
intensely,
Tell me divine wishes only
cosmetics,
Sandal paste-covered stone
idols,
Garland scented decorated
lovely,
Silent eyes mute behold devotees,
Stood folded hands scrutinized
too,
Aghast to look at tears
streaming,
Heartbroken spirits bent
pleading,
Asking for mercy, letting
suffering stop,
Stolen lives but sudden,
astonished,
Death traps, steals,
unsympathetic,
Fewer considerations for a
lovely child,
Sole earning member youth
perished,
Young is a widow long life
ahead stark,
A lone woman and a few children
embark,
The ocean is life stormy, lady
boating,
Uncertain every moment, as if
sinking,
Rebellious against fate brute
fate,
Immoral the mysterious life to
hate,
Left at age advanced crippled
couple,
Children forgetting their
parents is simple,
Left to die unceremoniously, I
doubt,
Lord, whether an ocean of mercy
but,
Doubt the tall temple minarets
flags,
Whose glory it sings human life
sags,
No pretension repentance time
moves,
Forgotten lost lives stories
endless,
No solution fictions galore
repudiate,
Lord is almighty to solve
problems faced,
Abundant gift of love, care
changes,
Life summersault from poverty
to gold,
Swept my emotions, tears
winking,
Lord, why are human faces
devastated,
They loved O Lord and lifelong
trusted,
Forgotten so soon when ill fate
roasted,
Failed to stand erect, lost
strength,
Crestfallen to watch plights of
lives,
Cried that day silently before
replying,
Your creation why disappears
instantly,
Let floods flooding village
fields ripe,
Destroyed in a few days,
everything in sight,
Heart your abode in the heart
of humans,
How come these lives got so
cruel,
Kill, kill everything in sight
outcry,
Beastly savagery visible a
mockery,
Angry with my world left the
temple,
Human conscience supreme felt
rule,
A demon lives in our mind,
anger burns,
Hatred fractured our race life
churns,
How much we can hate to
eliminate,
Lord, little inhibit, protect,
intimate,
Sat alone think our future
primitive,
Savage race verge of extinct
restive,
O Lord, you know all and
sarcastic,
Watch sprouts green leaf changed
heretic!
