Attention Please * Poem by Deepak Manchanda of Delhi

Spread before me was the grandeur of sky, sea and land
But in a moment the sky was dark as night
With mighty thunder and lightning flash, neon bright:

'There is much to behold, but
PAY PER VIEW'

I think I saw in a blink

In the darkened chamber at the Holy Place
Pierced by a narrow beam of light from high above
Adding sparkle to the gold and velvet
Amidst the incense, candles and incantations:

'Prayer is the subject matter of solicitation
READ THE SCRIPTURES WITH CARE'

I think is what I solemnly heard

Standing amidst the trees
Breathing air with the fresh fragrance of flowers
Amidst the gentle rustle of leaves
A piece of paper fluttered down to me from the sky:

'If you wish to continue receiving services
JUST SIGN HERE'

I think is what it read.
