Marie

(Dedicated to Earth-Angels who resemble Marie – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

 

I called you Marie –

Because I know it makes you happy

Feeling pride in instincts so divine-motherly!  

 

I called you Marie –

Because I may not have a chance

To say it again

If tomorrow Earth finds itself

Without a Sun!

 

Time has changed!

The world is no more the same –

Since New Testament

Found enlightenment in crucifixion and crusades

Depriving West of all future prophets!

 

In the age of Military science and commerce!

Even Marie could find it difficult –

Remaining virgin as adult

Bringing in Jesus to this world!

 

As I still breathe and speak   

I want to see you merry -

Despite all modern limitations

You could still be Marie!
