God in coco cola bottle

God in coco cola bottle.

Miles and miles away from India,
my country of birth, my home town,
the ancient soil where people heard
and saw divine voices and visions,
penance in Himalayas’,
myriad mythological gods
and godheads much to our
Stupefaction, scriptural dictums,
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva,
Creator, protector, destroyer,
Three in one, all in one.
Trinity in one and only one Avatar.
Redeemer and Saviour of Humanity,

What convictions, what undeiviated beliefs,
held in traditions ,now converted into questions,
questions after questions , nimbi- pambi poking,
convictions all crumbled into pieces,
the hungered and hungry in their vile looks saw
the life in coco cola, whole life in wine and flesh,
what trinity, what affinity, only nitty, they opine,
I see a presentiment of diluted umbrage
Here in England, the sun straight into my eyes,
the beams straight into the lab and library
as straight as the thinking many,
weaving in dew drops, a symphony
.
