Even Gods Have Become Bribe Takers On The Soul of Humanity, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
our indian gods need
diamond studded shawls
they ask for hard currency
no travelers cheques
most of all diamonds
gold silver hussains
paintings on their walls
they are more smarter all in all
silken robes golden heeled mojdis
to add to their grandeur
make them stately also tall
if you are broke dont have
anything for them they hang up
whenever you call
if you dont pay them
terrible times will befall
the curse of the potbellied
pujari and the trustee
pimping in the prayer hall
the beginning no end
to your karmic soul its
cosmic downfall
flat on his belly
like a wounded reptilian
the devotee pots of money
slithering silence
as he crawls
behind him his children
his sickly wife wafer thin
so very small
