The Ancestors ( after Guardian)
Apart from idol worship,
another unique form of worship
propagated traditionally is our
ancestors worshipping as their
cultural symbols – cocks, cows,
goats and crows and parrots of all
singing songs pouring a
melody
to propitiate
all evils in most homes;
sometimes, even
rituals as offerings
of killings or
sacrifices – common
belief
transmitted from believing
ancestors to
posterity even today;
tomorrow is uncertain for cocks and
bulls and
parrots for strewn feathers
everywhere, other side of worship
by some raw brutal act still in vogue.
On the grass, on the mound, on the ground
Their play a delectable pleasure dancing
To the tunes of Carols and choir bells.
Our ancestors
and their voices,
