Crocodile Poem by Gajanan Mishra

I am a mere crocodile
And I am in ignorance
But You are Absolute knowledge
You are the Lord of the universe.

You have created me and I am Your creation
You have made other creatures my food, my dear
I am in water always see and I have never gone
To outside other than water.

I have never acknowledged myself as superior
It is just for my sustenance I am eating other creatures
But my dear, I picked up the leg of an elephant
Who was entered to the water with a proud land-ruler.

For so many years I have never seen such gigantic-animal food
And I was pleased thinking that my children also would get food
But my dear, is it not Your injustice that you killed me at once
Without calling an explanation from me? it is ex-parte decision.

I have not committed any sin so far my knowledge goes, my dear
I know no scriptures, but You are Omnipotent Omniscient
You are all powerful You are full of knowledge and so
I am eager to hear from You for my own satisfaction.

Would You like to made me a character of Your novel or fiction
No use of such relation my dear in the path of eternal truth
Give me justice and be impartial to my children at least
Let me sacrifice myself to fulfill Your wish.
