Dark Self

You spoil the spirit of this pious land, 

Despite our best efforts to enlighten you

With love and humanity in your violent faith,

The love and humanity have refused to dawn on you.

Your conjecture about this nation, her people;

Is based on some unfathomable rooted hate,

In your faith, on your nastiness, intolerance;

You are moving in the dark to find space.

But O love! Deep kindness

Flows like honey, milk in their heart;

Inspirational, chaste, virtuous, unsullied;

Flow for you to make civilize and humble.

You fail to understand,

The eruption and reach of the springs of

Secularism, liberalism, tolerance and love;

To purify, your self and consciousness.

Then the ‘Karuna’ non-exhibits it’s self,

Joys and bliss of life don’t erupt,

Then the life becomes unfulfilling.

And the self-enlightenment is incomplete.
