God's Dustbin
God’s Dustbin
God is mad; perhaps extraordinarily mad;
Like us, anger-betide, kind-equipped and all;
House things and not His house He only lays
Also scatters them on Their utility gets a fall.
The earth is such a dustbin of the Almighty god.
We, the people are His gems and roughages.
When we are faded, torn or not in His vogue,
He throws us into the floating bin of wastes.
Sometimes, a gem on mistake is disposed off;
He rummages His royal cottage and corridor;
Stirring the bins, if He finds the ugly sweet out,
He adores it, and carefully places in His tidy store.
We kill ourselves or are eaten by germs here;
When we smell foul, He empties or washes the bin,
We face the calamity or storm, torn and beaten,
Unlike the gems, we die child, die old or die in teen.
Basudeve Karmakar
About this poem
God is like us. He is mad. Lover, hater etc. His dustbin is the Earth in which he leaves the wastes. Sometimes he throws a gem like good people. He takes it back. The other people die here.
