Bathe Poem by SALINI NAIR

Someone told
You are bad
He thought I need to purify myself
He cleanse with beauty soap
Next day someone said
Oh! You look beautiful
He sighed and asked
Am I bad?
You have got a pretty look; But not so humble
He went to a beauty clinic
Next day someone told
You look prettier
Then he asked
Am I bad?
Your style not changed
He flew from clinic to spa
All commented
Nowadays he is getting smart
He asked always
Am I bad?
All commented
You look great
But he asked
Am I bad?
You are bad all replied
He move from clinic to clinic
And asked am I bad
All commented
You look mad
He sighed; then someone told
You look smart
Bad means your character is bad
You are doing bad things
I cleanse myself numerous times
But it changed your appearance
I don’t want to be bad, so I bathed many times
If so change your attitude
I can’t wash it any way
Close your eyes and gaze to self
Can I use a mirror for that?
Your eyes are closed; and look to your inner self
It’s my body parts inside
Do I need to scan it?
Not in a clinic, by yourself
How?
Just close your eyes
Detach from surrounding
Just concentrate to behind the eyes
What sees is not real
All happens behind the eyes
Do I have to turn my head?
No, your mind
There subtract badness from goodness
If your answer is goodness
Then you are good
But what is good
What makes others happy, it’s good
What you are doing is not only for you but also for others, it’s good
View from others angle, its good
He whispered, and closed his eyes! ! ! ! !
