The Temple Said Poem by Ramesh Joshi

The Priest" said, temple to me,
"Devour me; rob me of myself once".
He is my enemy,   number one, once
Myself, my enemy now.eats marrows
He lived on me, and I on him.
He worshipped me and I support,
For livelihood and maintenance,
Now  he has  fallen back to hock me.
There is no worship, worship there
squander the wealth and plunder  faith,
They want money from  devotees,
no love for me nor for anyone.
For litting  lamp, oil is kept,
They lit  houses, keeping me dark
temple self for they are in dark,
heart never knowing light within.
See me how they reduced  me I stand
Publicly they are  shameless men,
Naked they  made me a woman now,
they are lo, to husbands, own mothers.
