The Two Imps

Stupidity and shamelessness-

the two Imps of the Devil

have their big tummies

to digest the earthly humiliation

and as the followers of double standards

they build friendship with peace

and harmony in the morning

and in the evening pour hemlock

into the nectar with no hesitation and confusion

creating all sorts of disorders and disturbances-

enough to repel peace and harmony

from the universal friend-circle

degrading themselves

down to the feet of uncivilized animals

and make them quite godless

in the flying

up to the sky of abundance

riding on the wings

of the pride and contumacy,

witless in liking other’s property more

breaking the God’s law of peace

in extending their greedy hands

to bring all under their illegal custody

incarnating themselves into tigers or foxes

to frighten the white feathered pigeon

to fly away forever

to somewhere else

in quest of a nest

built by the God-fearing men.
