There are other Gods too

There are other Gods too

There are skies above this sky

Not only are you a footling*

There are other gods too

Only priests we see, you aren’t seen ever

Though, your places and offerings to you in name only

There are skies above this sky too

Were thirty three billion deities not enough?

Now you are praying humans too

Earlier they were rooted in Ashrams

Now seated in jails

There are skies above this sky too

Those who were taking my room’s ceiling as my sky

Are now tensed to see me at rooftop

There are skies above this sky too

Academics, then a job and you think you are passed

Now, there are exams of humanity ahead

There are skies above this sky too

The face of the Truth

The Face of the Truth O' Lord! Kedar mere a glimpse of 'the beyond' are you O'Lord! Badri, roam I in your territory Seeking all through eternity The Face of the Truth Beyond the collective consciousness Of thousands of years And here the day breaks after Millions of days and equal nights O' my beloved existence with my entirety I adore you That emanates from the deep unfathomable oceans of Truth, Beauty, and Love, Brahman!
