Master Painter - Ii Poem by C. P. Sharma

Painting - II

His paintings are live
In them the world moves
He claims no credit
Neither copyright approves

We paint on paper or canvas
Lifeless and still
Use His colors
All His paintings copy
Claim copyright and
Put price tag

He paints the Sun
In diverse moods
A red hot ball of fire
Leaping flames around
Removing darkness
From all nooks and corners
Leading to light the earth and the sky
Each one satiates, never discriminates

He painted day and night
Positioned the Sun and the moon
For work and rest
Paints ceaselessly to provide
Each one a nest
The beautiful starry sky
PDS* perfect and powerful
Providing wherewithal
Each life regulates

Ego drunk man
Asymmetrically paints
Spoiling His symmetry
Smudging aesthetic sense
Irrational use of brush
Makes future tense
