Juggernaut Poem by Sathya Narayana
Juggernaut
You and I drench in joy tears
to a cuckoo's song with guileless ears
even while expert musicians
keep searching for discordant notes!
You and I look with bleary eyes
at the holes in the sari of a poor lady
even while a pair of lecherous eyes prey
on her bare flesh peeping through her poverty!
Burning tears and blooming love
find their language in poetry
and blurt out naked and hazy.
You and I perceive that woe and feel
even while grammatists shout foul, foul!
There have been men from eons
who ignore the right and embrace the wrong,
like pigs those that sidetrack from a royal lane
and jump into a stinking sewer line!
They trumpet that Lord Ram did err
and that Udhishtira's virtue was a sham.
But stops not my juggernaut that cares
for true human values; but not ugly stares
and tramples upon all those cans of worms! !

Sathya, you speak of morals and hypocrasy, that show how our desires can lead to wrong. This is another excellent poem. Bob

Wow, a great piece Sathya...full of good moral values - thought provoking indeed... Damning the people who quote scripture to suit their own ends and those who deliberately choose to turn a blind eye to the less fortunate...
