The controversy over a day
the auspicious in a way
tells one with unequal pride
he finds not the day in the tide
says he has connections not with one
but with four temples in tone
feels the day is not good
so does one of his brood
who being a subordinate in status
talks of all things not in focus
be that of the rituals and the food together
both of them think they are authorities
ironically they are known for their atrocities
speak in a manner loud all the more intimidating
while they are of substandard and demeaning
hurt alone is not the matter or a question
it is their knowledge accounts for the reason
could be mitigated if it comes from the wise
incidentally, the allegations emanate from men of vices
notorious for their fraudulence in places of worship
well, let them wag their tongue as much as they want
meaningless to deliberate on their utterance devoid of kinship
ignore the duo by discarding their remarks as scant
such shallowness and impudence would drive them to a state
would be subjected to contempt and scorn to date.
