AM I A HYBRID???

 

I fight for my friends,

I fight for my family.

Against the evil trends,

The wrong doers of the society.

No, I am not the hero of the area,

But do tell, am I a Kshatriya ?

 

I earn the daily bread,

For myself and my family.

And thus we are daily fed,

Oh GOD, I thank Thee.

No, I am not a social cashier,

But do tell me, am I a Vaishya?

 

Cleanliness is my taste,

I clean my own house,

Get rid of waste,

And so does my spouse.

No, I am not a perjurer of modern era,

But do tell me, am I a Kshudra?

 

I surrender unto Thee,

My Almighty Father in Heaven.

I’d come to you, as time would flee.

Protect your child,my humble prayer.Amen.

I pray to You every evening and morning,

So do tell me, am I a Brahmin?

ARE OUR HEARTS THE SAME TODAY???

The theme of my poem is present versus past.

In the past, GUEST IS GOD was the motto of every caste.

People did their best to serve their guest,

And made sure their guest had ample rest.

 

Time went by, and people changed hearts.

Their mottos changes, like the change of arts.

And now is the time when guests are regarded as hogs,

And people quote on their gates, “BEWARE OF DOGS”.
