Rich Gods, Poor Gods
Gods have become rich
now-a-days
They dwell in magnanimous structures
Shine in glittering attires.
There is a smile on the idol's face
That more or less seems to be a smirk
With gold and silver all around
They are covered with currency garlands
The flowers around lend an intoxicating smell.
And in those surroundings
They seem to be born with
Silver spoons in their mouth
Big temples, big gods!
I wonder
Are these gods the same
who dwell under banyan trees,
in chowks
and on hills
with only their flags visible
Who knows
if it is a temple at all.
After all
The human race
has gone a step further
God created humans
humans created class
and they have now
classified the Gods as well!
