Poetry

You are omnicient and also omnipresent
Still oh God for you we have to build temples.
It is often believed that you reside there
Inspite of being creator of the universe.


You have created nature as also human
Yet you can not put him under nature
And have to face always cajoling men.
Nature you  use to suppress them then.

Stern nature brings floods, earthquakes
That destroy then the proud foolish men.
Reestablishing your dominance over them
Inculcating fear once again in them.

Then perhaps to pay his respects or for show
Man builds temples to restrict your power.
Your power works in temples, they believe
And bend before you after committing follies.

-Ratnakar D Mandlik
