The ceremonies went on
the rituals were long
the chant and recital
took a full deal of plunge
the sanctity engulfed
the devotion was so dense
the gathering became one
diffused in the divinity
they were in a trance
knew nothing that happened
a juncture of enlightenment they say
Could it be ?questions my mind
a doubt that stimulates an apprehension
a feel that triggers a suspicion
all those are true and genuine
be it a masquerade to hide.
I silenced my mind
with a stern “NO Way” shout
moved out to breathe fresh.
