LETTER TO GOD

Drums and beats audible all around
Orchestra matching their chords to the rhythm, surround
Its festival of music and dance
A celebration of Good over Evil

Women dressed in their colorful attire
Seeming very charming and beautiful
A glimpse of Supreme power
Like a form of Goddess Durga

Prayers are chanted
Songs are sung
Diyas are lit up
Havans are performed
To burn away the evil
To spread around divinity
For peace to stay

But are these acts really helping to spread peace
Is divinity really showing its presence in the surrounding

The smoke is settled in the air
The burned off flames have blurred the vision
Not only choking up the air to breathe in
But also the generosity of the self seeking humans

Oh Goddess Durga
Please help saving the planet
From the disastrous future
To save from manifestation of globalization

Show your power to suppress the corrupt
To free away the illicit minds
And make some space for the clean air to breathe in
Pure souls for Divinity to stay
Bright minds ti lit up the planet in real sense

May you shower your blessings and show your presence
In the form of the most deserving beholder
To the real living Goddesses
Who is present among us
In the form of Goddess Durga, in our lives.
