Maya Poem by Sathya Narayana
Maya
First there was a lightening dazing the eye
Next came a thunder threatening
With fear the earth skipped a spin
Merry skies laughed maliciously
And sent down a cold rain
‘Thanks, many thanks’
The earth mumbled
With a simper shyly
Amused, I asked the earth,
“Aren’t you both good friends?
Between you it must be quid pro quo
Why this misplaced gratitude you show? ”
Earth whispered, “He’s my friend! Yes friend! !
But he wants always to have an upper hand
Don’t you see? He is up there above me! !
He is a phenomenon of vicious vicissitudes
When in bad mood, me he can flood
Or can submerge in the oceans
Hence I can’t act otherwise, but subdued”
Aha! Now I know when they all did start
Politics, oppression and exploitation
They’re very well there in the nature,
From where the man did learn
The spirit of every vile phenomenon
