Onam Reminds! Poem by Narayanan Nair. P Perunthanam

Onam reminds me of the venomous mind
That overthrew a just, kind king, unkind
Aryan imperialism subjugating the Dravid
The white over the black, dark apartheid

Justice of the black is unjust for the white
A matter of jealousy, dissatisfaction and fight.
For the British, Indians were raw to be refined
As Allopaths frown upon Ayurvedics as bad.

But, what is the truth? think of the covered past
Weigh evidences: from history, literature and art
Of all non-whites; really, they were and are super
In many respects, hence, awake from your stupor.

India shall not be a kite of any ruler outside
No race is Blessed to override anyone beside;
Almighty considers all equals - by their deeds
It is That, that fosters all by weighing our deeds.

When greed of man rudely jeopardizes the Nature
Nature jeopardizes human life, making a fracture.
Torrential rain or draught is a positive measure
Applied by It on earth (as earth-quake) to treasure.

Man like Vamana tries to grow and measure the earth
Other planets, heaven or hell to exploit Nature's wealth
As Jehovah, the Almighty, Brahma, or Allah, the Cause
Of that Pulsation is everywhere, beware man! and pause!
