The Second Incarnation

a poem by Sathyanarain M

Oh! Wars all over the world
Terror all over the earth.
It’s the curse;
The curse of the deadly witches of the Hearth.
Fight for religion,
Fight in every region.
Right from Afghanistan to Israel
And Bosnia to Lebanon and now once
Again Afghanistan, where
The war goes on.

Why to forget our own country-
Mother India,
Once known as Queen of all
Now a crumb of dust
In her very own downfall.

But one day or the other,
It will end the reign of terror-
For there will be an incarnation-
The second
Of the good Lord Himself,
A second Christ, A second Allah,
As even a second Krishna.
But once One arrives
The world’ll experience,
An end to wails and cries
And the people in world we know,
“The Good Lord has arrived.
Again!”
