It is a temple festival
there is a carnival
year after year, it takes place
people from around race to see
the God with a personal plea
kavadis and paal kudams abound
the breaking of coconuts in the ground
has grown from hundreds to thousands
all along the procession route
their bhakthi bears fruit
the town council makes money
with the shops in makeshift funny
an amount of few hundred thousand
all from the rentals of hundred shops
a fairly good revenue each year
the council does nothing much to cheer
the management spends from their pocket
run the show without any brackets
the main aim is to honour the Lord
that they do without any fraud
nobility needs to be recognised
has to be honoured too.

A Big Temple
The Temple On A Hill
The temple stood atop on a hill
seemed very ancient and still
with devotees going up and down
while an elephant stood on the ground
with her caretaker standing next
who made her salute everyone in best
just for the money the passers-by give
making the huge animal small in a live
this is how the animal is made to win its bread
with that the caretaker also goes in a tread
as such the temple is known for its heritage
people throng during the festival in stages
making it glimmer and shine all the more
sending signals of strength and fortitude even more
as the devotees get around in terms dizzy
seeking the blessings of the ruling deities with ecstasy
signifying that people do have indefatigable faith
even in these days where technology gets ahead straight.
