INQUISITIVE MIND
"WHO ARE YOU?",A "VOICE" ASKED.
"I AM A HUMAN BEING",I DID RETORT.
"WHO?", IT VIGROUSLY REPEATED.
"A HUMAN", I VEHMENTLY REITERATED.
"SAY IT AGAIN", IT MADE A DELIBERATE RECENSION.
"ARE YOU HARD OF HEARING?", I COUNTER QUESTION.
"NO. NO, NO!" CAME THE PROMPT ASSERTION.
"THEN, WHO ARE YOU?" I REPEAT HER QUESTION.
"THANK GOD, I AM NOT HUMAN", THE VOICE GOES ON,
"PREY, WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE", MY ANGER SHOWN--
"THANK GOD, YOU ARE NOT GOD", THE VOICE HAD DARED;
"YOUR FUNNY RANTS MAKE NO SENSE", I, TOO, DECLARED.
"AREN'T YOU AN ANIMAL?", IT LET GO A MISSILE,
"YES, 'SOCIAL' THEY SAY", I THOUGHT FOR A WHILE;
"YOU CRAVE FOR MONEY", IT MADE AN ALLEGATION,
"I NEED NOT DENY", I HONESTLY MAKE A SUBMISSION.
"WHERE DOES GOD RESIDE?" THE VOICE INQUIRED,
"HOW DO I KNOW?", I WAS GETTING BORED AND TIRED;
"HOW ABOUT TEMPLES AND SHRINES?" IT CONJECTURED,
"I REALLY CAN NOT SAY", THE ANSWER I HAD MUSTERED.
"YOU KILL IN THE NAME OF GOD", THE VOICE WAS CLEAR,
"YEA, SO WHAT IS YOUR CRIB ?", I SHOWED NO FEAR;
"AND YOU STILL SAY YOU WERE A HUMAN?" IT SHRIEKED,
"DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER DEFINITION?" I LOUDLY SQUEAKED.
"YOU SPEND SO LAVISHLY ON TEMPLES AND SHRINES ", IT
THUNDERED.
"YES, WHY SHOULD GOD LIVE IN MISERY?" I GENUINELY
WONDERED;
"DOES GOD NEED YOUR LUXURY?" THE VOICE SHOT AGAIN,
"I DON'T KNOW; I DON'T KNOW ", WAS MY MURMURING REFRAIN.
"IS PRIEST A GOD?" 'VOICE', THUS, BEGAN TO HAMMER
A POINT:
FOR, HE LIVES IN A COSTLY BUILDING, WHAT YOU SAY IS A 'GOD'S
JOINT',
IN THE NAME OF YOUR 'FAITH' YOU HATE OTHERS AND PUT GOD TO
SHAME;
OH! YOU DRUMBEAT YOU ARE 'HUMAN' BUT FOLLOW LAWS OF ANIMAL
DOMAIN."
"STOP YOUR DISCOURSE", I SHOUTED AT THE FACELESS VOICE,
"YOU TOLD ME NOTHING NEW", I COULD NEITHER CRY NOR
REJOICE;
"HEY, LOOK INSIDE AND YOU WILL FIND", VOICE GAVE ME
DITRECTIONS,
"I AM ONLY YOUR INQUISITIVE MIND", FINALLY, IT MADE NO
PRETENSIONS.
