God's Leash! ! Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

You hold our being and walk us around,
the leash in your hand not seen or bound,
just we are following where ever this leash leads,
why Lord never seen our cry and laugh,

a few dreams may come true, the rest are the dust,
tears from the wells never failed to spring,
hearts are loaded with baggage of the past,
why Lord never seen our dried sweat,

Birds are free until their nests are ransacked,
Brutes can still hunt and live as they like,
in the glass jungle, where everything opaque,
why Lord never seen our trials and verdicts,

we are lonely everywhere with loaned time,
haunted are our thoughts with spirits of dispute,
clouded are our memories, not trusting our own self,
why Lord never seen our new face in the new age.
