What Is What Poem by Upendra Majhi

Heart is the ocean,
waves are religions,
foam lines are pantheon of God,
Scripture is the golden sand
whales are dictates of heart,
sharks are proactive actions
deepseated love and affection,
if whales somersault,
sandy beach get inundated,
if shark ssamersault, waves rise high,
snake is the devil,
seagull is the conscience,
aerial lifting is the way,
calm cool way.
oyster is the mundane living,
maya (in Hindi) (the confusion) is the turmoil of living
the grilling facts of daily life,
the sand in the oyster stomach,
pearl is the unalloyed joy
God is the oyster farmer,
Life is the oysterbed
corrupt buys the pearl,
buys name and fame, readymade,
his wife wears the necklace,
but pearl is a pearl,
not for the glory of the wearer,
but for the glory of its producer, the oyster,
it is produced hard way,
worn easy way.
pearl is the enigma.
