The Stranded God
THE STRANDED GOD
God is supposed to be pure and good
and is not expected to run a all-vices den
But, in order to adjudge the human mind
He has thrown open a mega mall - gambling ring
under a single roof, in a flood-lit complex on Las Vegas mode
assorted wings, for sinful things, from porno to video games
24 hour bar, sex-parlours, casinos, kiosks, massage and sauna bath
Satan, the Group Manager, is given full in charge
House-full business in all the branches
lakhs of rupees change hands in a fraction
God is amazed at His daily collections
As the people are blind to His scriptures and preaching
God strolled into a church to check attendance
hither and thither a few old and invalid
giving a pat, He inquired them of their prayers
they needed money only to re-enter the hot- shops, God had opened
confused over the human psychology, God called his clergy
wanting to assess what the god men were doing for centuries
None of them could guarantee a clear society
And in mass protest, leaving the Order, they all ran to the
Halls of variety and gaiety
…………………….leaving the God S T R A N D E D in fury.
