Sarvam Sree Krishnaarpanam Astu
Unveiled!
“I shall not accept it! I shall not wear it
to please the world!”
“Do not make me comply, to satisfy the
minds of those uncontrolled!”
That used to be the cry, in lands where the
real “you” was a threat!
Hide it all…suppress it…bottle it…like a djinn
in an old trinket for a casket.
To those lands, these many fingers pointed!
Like the petals of a mutated lotus…
“See their primitive nature! See how
ancient their ways…see how primordial their laws!”
“Cast it aside! Wear it not! Be like those
around you! Reveal thyself!”
“Show you have nothing to hide! Follow the
rules of this more ancient land," they said!
Primitive their ways, yes! Primeval their
methods, yes!
Alas, tis not the law to wear it that is
primitive and backward! Nay! Not just that!
The mere act of making me do something that
I don’t really want to!
That is backward! Barbaric! Primitive! Uncouth!
Sadistic!
I shall wear it! I shall not wear it! The
smile is mine to wear…Mine to hide.
A society that forces a smile and that suppresses
it are the fingers behind the two jaws of the same puppet!
-SriVishnudaasan
