(023) Kenosis Poem by premji premji

Kochi:
The capital of
mosquitoes!
And yesterday I met
God while wandering
through Broadway!
Face- red with
mosquito bites and
black from pollution!

In summer, Kochi is like an
open hearth!
We sat under the
cool shade of a
restaurant floating.
Waited for two mugs of
fresh juice chilled.

Looking into my eyes,
He asked, ' What do you
expect from me? '
'Nothing'
'Really? '
'Yes.'
'It sounds funny, dear guy…
If I empower you
to kill anybody you like,
if I enarm you
the most powerful of
all weapons,
(Don’t worry, you wont be sinned,
I assure)
tell me, whom do you kill first?
Anti-social elements,
politicians, traitors or
your own foes? '
“None of them.'
'Then? '
'My self! '
