A Cat Sleeps Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

Devotees of all faiths
Aware!
The god with its old book torn
The god with its broken pen
The god with its swords
Blunt. Appear before
Temples, churches and mosques
All the populars wear the color
And quiver of bells.

Learn to accept the kisses
of your fate
No dogmas nails any faith
In some norther city of steel
Vegetation.

A cat with its paws and clawsand with its ruthless blood
Sleeps in me
Hunting the rats in my dream
