Ganesha

Akshara 95

Poetry

I am Ganesha
I am with u always dear
You pamper me for 10 days every year
You want me in all forms you see
So you set your imaginary horses free..
You serve me all the fruits and sweet dishes..
only to drown me among the fishes ,
or abandon me under a banyan tree.
The royal insult you mete out to me
absolutely guilt free..
I sit there staring at passers by
sometimes drenched sometimes dry
hounded by holy garbage now and then.
Will someday someone realise this sin?
and stop it along with their kith n kin .
When I am adorable in any form
Why not opt the simple norm
and shape me out of earthy clay
the ruining colours all kept at bay..
And send me back to my mother s lap
where I always love to play.
Do not fade my name for eternity
rather strive to save my dignity..
Cuz u know..I am the sweetest of all gods
and I sail with u through all odds..
Pleadingly yours
Ganesha..
