We did get another holiday
One more opportunity to shirk
After celebrations got over
Did anything change at work?
We lit lamps, blew conches
Our ‘bhakti’ we have proved
After the bells stopped ringing
Has our situation improved?
Yes, a few have hit headlines
While rest have cursed fate
Wasn’t love a better option
Than machinations of hate?
How long till drivers realise
They’re driving on wrong side?
How long ‘ere passengers know
They are being taken for a ride?
Let vested interests prosper
And politicians play their parts
We won’t find Ram in temples
If we can’t find Him in our hearts.
