Analysis of I Think
Manoj Dagar 1978 (Delhi)
God is not with me, I think,
‘cause he make me sleep, still I blink.
God hates me, I know,
is it ‘cause, I don’t bow!
He makes me feel, he is almighty,
and if I don’t believe, am I haughty.
what... if I believe in “me”,
don’t need any help from Him, from thee.
It’s force of nature, not God, I feel,
these laws of nature, the way they feel,
the way they cut, the way they heel,
I feel it ‘cause, the universe reel.
If something visible, it’s true, we say,
if not visible, how God stay.
It’s nature, visible, we feel, we say,
if not visible, how God they say.
Do you want to be told...
‘cause of Him, you succeed,
‘cause of Him, you exist,
‘cause of him you achieve.
So say, it’s nature, not God, you fool,
Believe in you, don’t loose your cool,
Say...’I don’t want God, I want universe’,
can one do with a word, when one want verse...
