The wedding of the God celebrated aplomb
People flock to see the celebration in jubilation
A scholar is entrusted to educate the masses thro sermons and lectures
The entire place echo a religious fervour
The God is given a bath in holy waters and sweet perfumes
And decked with best of jewellery and costume
The devotees throng for a slice of the holy blessing
A trip to the temple to wash away their sin?
The priests sing the holy verses and the scholar recite the holy script
The masses gather in their finest silks
What are they trying to hide and conceal
Don’t they know that God can look beyond their silks and thrill?
A procession of the God in streets and lanes
Only the road is swept clean and decorated with holy designs
Once the God passes by, its back to normal folly again
The procession, the sermon not showing any real gain
The God is a commodity and his wedding an activity
A platform for the priests and scholars to show their authority
A salvation is promised and its attained thro ‘money’
God, speak out and punish this farce and felony.
