EVEN GOD CAN HAVE HUMOUR

EVEN GOD CAN HAVE HUMOUR

God was in the process of creating the universe
And he was explaining to his subordinate
Look everything should be in balance
For example after every ten deer there should be lion.
Look here my fellow angels, here is the country of the United States.
I have blessed then with prosperity and money
But at the same time I have given them insecurity and tension…
And here is Africa
I have given them beautiful nature
But at the same time, I have given them climatic extremes,
And here is South America
I have given them lots of forests
But at the same time I have given them less land so that
They would have to cut off the forests…
So you see fellows, everything should be in balance.
One of the angels asked…
“God, what is this extremely beautiful country here?”
God said, “Ahah! That is the crown piece of all INDIA”
My most precious creation.
It has understanding and friendly people. Sparkling streams and serene mountains.
A culture which speaks of the great tradition that hey live.
Technologically brilliant and with a heart of Gold.”
The angel was quite surprised:
“But God you said everything should be in balance”
God replied – “Look at the neighbors I have given them”

I SAW THE WORLD

I saw a crowd,
Of lovely people,
I saw a garden
Of dying petals.

I saw happiness,
On gloomy face,
I saw every man,
An actor of stages

I saw friends
With envious mind
I Saw men,
Being Unkind

I Saw People fighting
For Water and for Land
I Saw People killing
Fro wine and bread.

I Saw the world,
Both at day and night,
I Saw the world
In the fading light.
