The day of Shiva

A few days ago on Shivratri

I went to the temple to perform an aarti

People were holding packets of milk

Baskets of fruits were covered with silk

As we entered the temple

There I saw callousness in ample

People were pouring milk on the Shivalingam

With a sound of a huge bell

The whole place did ring

The`A0precious liquid that is hard for some to get and even see

In the temple, it had turned into a white sea

Milk was flowing everywhere

But its utilisation was no where

I was wondering on this day

But I couldn’t say

The poor don’t get milk to drink

And here it was going into the sink

At times, some don’t even get all three meals

But we don’t care how they feel

I had to kept a fast

But I decided at last

To give the milk and fruits

to our maid

So that at least her children

could have their fill

Without worrying about the bill

This made me happy and gay

As I had done a good deed on this divine day
