Defending God

Defending God

Whatever name you may give Him
In this Age of Kali
You can't save God.

You have everything to prove it..
Facts, figure, evidence:
If you have been following the news
You must have read, in the papers---
Up against one namebreast
There is a trident ---Trishul;
Drawn up against another,
A dagger;
A third one is absconding
From the trained AK-47..
And apart from these three Names
There are now abroad
Diktats fatwas hukamamas.
That one, having shed the name, is hiding
In the books... how long
But how long will it be safe for Him
Having no name!

Just because it has survived so far,
It's somewhat presumptuous to assert
That God is but almighty!

He's a survivor alright. Though
That is because
He has faced attacks by turns;
The enemy now
(i.e the plurality of the devotees---)
Is on the alert,
And in accord.

And now when the tridents begin to rain
The rest of arms as well
Are bound to arraign
Round the Lord

Ambushed thus
Who prevails?
Who?
