Like a diseased person
since a long time
with none to take care of
his/her immediate needs
he/she is literally unable to wake up
urinates and defecates
on the dilapidated crater-filled floor of a hut
with none to look after his/her needs.
Holy river Ganges like the dying patient
is a diseased river since decades
with chemical factories on both sides of the river
‘defecating’ effluents sending a nasty odour
forcing us to throw up
under the very nose of those
who are entrusted with looking
after Holy river and taking care of her
and moving towards the verge of extinction
with foul smell spreading a vast area.
Despite its plight and predicament
pilgrims and worshippers rush to the Holy river
and with rock-solid faith
in her supernatural powers to heal and wash away their sins
take dip in her
and attain salvation.
