Durga: Goddess in Distress

by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar



Mother of the universe Stands motionless, Smothered Under the canopy Ripped by deafening noises Of daily dalliance, And mindless merriment... The Supreme Power Behind the Creation Lies helpless, Overpowered By the recurrent evil forces Of the sensual world Long inundated afar With the blood of humanity Remover of our miseries Is being removed With her spiritual value From human life By the malaise of the times - Today faith is diseased And conviction deceased.
