The days of reckoning have been on us since 1940
When the Dwapara Yuga cusp ended. The new
Malevolence we fight are between warring couples
Where most often it is the male who does acts most
Horrendous, while the politicians rub all our dreams
In the dirt by neglecting deliberately to uphold the law.
Remember carefully that Ravana and his brother were
Guardians of Lord Vishnu who chose to be Asuras
That their "punishment" for demonic actions would
Bring them back to swarga sooner if they did it with vairagyam.
Oh its so confusing all this talk of karma, good and evil
And we carry the heroes victory or martyrdom to excess.
A purge is beginning now in America and I know not
The mob fury in India when on Oct 2, Gandhi's birthday
Will see, effigies of those demons burnt, but mob violence
Can only be stirred when we identify an us and a vile they.
Will Goldberg's formula for deescalating tensions never
Be applied? Will we continue to drive our partners crazy?
My Lord, Lord, Lord, may I hold the good book in my hand,
That if I should give my life for Thee, it should Godspeed.
