O-M-G




I walk across the high walls 
on the road teeming with masses of men-  
stopping-stooping-stoic  
all propelled by a want and assembled
at the origin-the very creator [The Gods]  
chips of blinking things-shrouds of wrapped pastel  
 
Idols  
Pills  
Bread  
Red wine (Blood)  
White wine (Urine)  
Father-son and
the Holy Spirit
 
 
Endless expanse of silk  
doused in purple fumes  
A hundred eyes unblinking  
a hundred simultaneous prayers  
mutterings of the hopeful [Devotee]  
 
Prostrate  
Fallen  
Lost
Disillusioned  
Believers  
Seekers  
Awaiting apocalypse [Closure]  
 
And the ambiance leaves no place  
for ambiguity
The high walls adorned by the fresco-  
dazzling, surreal  
A thousand burning candles in all their glory  
A thousand incense sticks emanating tendrils
of holy smoke  
 
A Zen capsule  
with chi at equilibrium  
The elements  
all-at-tandem  
 
The crescendo  
the flailing arms  
and gushing tears  
the wooden boxes  
with the cloaked stranger  
the conch shells and  
oscillating urn  
hyperventilated  
exhilarated  
euphoric  
enchanted  
 
They have found  
at last and are bound to
every time 
 
I am just  
the recurrent aberration  
the constant face  
at every rendezvous  
My head wrapped or  
my palm outstretched  
or my mouth busy  
with words, wine  
or wonderful ambrosia  
served for the mass  
 
I am just a faceless-nameless entity  
in their eyes in HIS eye too  
 
Like he is in my eye  
The shrine-the deity-the straight swastika-the cross  
the tranquil sage or the fire-just more in a world  
of symbols-cryptic codes and anthropomorphic entities  
 
The bigger problem for all their problems  
the higher truth for all their truth  
the worst lie for all their misinterpretation  
 
Unfathomable  
Omnipresent  
Omniscient  
 
'Wherever you go  
The network follows'
 
 
Count the blessings  
calculate your grievances  
and submit your form  
at the formless
