A Way Of Life Poem by Ravi Kopra
A Way Of Life
God god god
everywhere is god
in poetry and music is god
Never ending god
but where God is needed
in hunger, poverty, mercy
in all third world countries
India included, the country
of most God fearing people
there is no trace of God
except in the idols made of clay or gold
and in the temples like those of Shiva
where a phallus is God, the ultimate Lord.
God, gods
The more the selfishness, the more the gods
A god for every act of selfishness
Want wealth, pray Laxmi
Want knowledge, pray Sarawati
Want wisdom, pray Vishnu
Want strength, pray Hanuman
Want libido, pray Shiva!
But do nothing to help the poor
the downtrodden, the hungry, the sick
Well, it is their Karma. Who cares!
They have a way of life, so tactful!
Everything falls in places, so beautiful.
Poetry with music is born as song forever;
Song without music is forever poetry only;
Poetry anywhere in the world has a language;
But music with or without song has no language!
Rhythm of poetry is the music of song forever;
Music has no beginning and no end as God we know;
Tune of music like rhythm of poetry conducts song
Like God as Universal spiritual energy activates all!
Poetry only gives voice to song with message and meaning
Like music gives sound and sense behind every song;
Music from heart like ideas from mind makes all dance;
But God inspires heart and mind to create poetry and song!
God only inspires music in heart for mind to create poetry;
Rhythmic poetry guides all as musical song to live life well!
