Feel Of Sharing A God

by Satish Verma   Apr 20, 2015


It should not have happened
this way, or that way,
rendering breathing difficult
in the intense smoke of misunderstanding.
The granite wall between the doors!

You grope through a thicket of words
crossing the centuries of hate.
Sun, no sun settles for the hope
of a slain blankness, to properly
heave, a sigh after the childbirth of truth.

All the dead white bones, jutting out
from the ancestral incompleteness of
forgetfulness of man to accept gracefully
the suffering of neighbourhood. The very
feel of sharing a god.

You are what you are not
I am not, what I am.

    Wonderful and heartfelt. The walls men construct to block neighbors also block his very egress. The "centuries of hate" gives rise to a brier patch polemics rather than understanding. Such a brave effort to cut through this biting undergrowth to make true contact.

    "The very feel of sharing a god."
    All is summed up magnificently yet tragically.
