As I Sat Down... Poem by Deepak Manchanda of Delhi

As I Sat Down...



As I sat down to pray today
Santi om mani padme hum
Came a voice thru the sky
Do you need a home to buy?
Peace be upon you I said
You sir have a fine day

As I sat down to paint today
Cherry red splashed on gouache of leaf green
Came a cheery voice across the sky
Do you want a car to try?
Peace be upon you lad, I said.
You sir have a fine day.

As I sat down to compose a few fine thoughts today
Little words chasing big thoughts
Came a sombre voice via the sky
Sir, for the children and charities will you care?
Peace be upon you, miss
May you have a fine day then

As I sat down today
To break my daily bread
I had a missed call
From the CEO
Union of tele-callers
Amen
