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.
