silently he watches
as people pass him
by some towards
the market
vegetables fruit
fish beef mutton
or provisions from
kalidas stores
they will buy
some touch him
kiss his feet
genuflect
make the sign
of the cross
with love
in their eyes
he is their
guardian
protector
he shields
them from
evil eyes
i am the life
the Resurrection
the path to
paradise
i am Jesus
i am Christ
to the dead
Arise
