I Fled The Scene Poem by Madhav Sarkunde

They were putting up
A huge wooden pillar
Square and stocky

A band of labors
Erected it amid
Loud cheers and
Piercing fear

I don't know
Why they did it
Someone said:
They were building
A grand edifice

Others said:
It was a structure
For the installation
Of Durga Devi

What it may be!
When they heavily hit
Nails into the post
My heart sank short!

I fled the scene
Lest they'd nail
Jesus in my heart.
