There Is The Wide Expense Poem by Raj Arumugam

there is the wide expense
the majesty, the mystery -
and what do you do?
You attempt to
confine it in buildings
You attempt to
confine it
in books
You think it is captured
in your theology, your dogma
your revelations, your miracles
in your institutions

It is boundless
It is unconfined
It is not pointed this way
It is not pointed that way
It is not named This or That
No one has any monopoly
Yet O fools, you will speak as if…


Ah, fools in the beginning
Fools to the very end
