If I can cast evil, by directing my vision.
To cause damage to some one’s life.
If my offerings to the gods,
can enhance my blessings.
If tonsuring my head,
I can gain the compassion of gods.
If every day I kneel and pray,
the gods are pleased with me.
And bless me accordingly.
If all the rituals l sincerely perform,
without fail can keep the evil at bay.
If horoscopes can help chart a course,
towards a prosperous and healthy life.
If the crystal ball can reveal my future.
If confession of my sins,
can cleanse the blot away.
If I prostrate at the feet of god men,
can he take my pain and suffering away.
If wishes were granted,
for a price by the divine.
Only the wealthy can roam this earth.
No sickness, no hunger, no pain, no death.
Awaiting another big bang.
Its all creations of your devious mind,
playing tricks on you.
Your not listening to your guiding light.
You divorced her from your heart.
She is still whispering to you.
Your humble soul.
