In The Days While The God Was Not In The City!



The Nature which didn't listen
To what you say runs away after
Giving exuberantly the heavy rain;

Extreme heat, storm, earth-quake,
Floods and volcanoes and other
Worst hit effects etc, etc..

The society which hides self-consciousness
In mind gets used to sow child laborers,
Refugees, orphans and poverty!

Brahma, the God who is in charge of creation
Who naps in his factory office creates in a hurry
The physically challenged persons as the time is past!

Yama, - the God who fetches the life –
Who went for shopping with his wife,
In his profession, in a hurry,

To patch up that day's deficiency
Happens and executes the infant death
And mortality!

With extreme greed for money,
With an agreement for
Installment of deaths,

The seeds of narcotic
Materials are sowed
In the land!

In the queried knowledge
of no one is there to listen
And act swiftly,

A few sexual assaults
Has been carried out
And established!

The cheats who adulterate
In a state of adulterating anything
Save the persons who intend to suicide

By adulterating the poisons too, but
Take the unlimited agreement, killing
The people by adulterating the food materials also!

In spite of the efforts of curing the patients,
The treatment for the purpose of making money,
Multitudes of patients are produced!

In the disguise of halls of teaching,
Education is sold in auction
As a day light robbery!

The leaders who forget
Their self-status becomes the God
In the days while the God was not in the city

Like the last grade employees
Who either don't respect
Or forget the superior office Head!
