Paradise Reclaimed

SCENE I
(The Heaven)

“Oh! I am awake!! And I am late…
My act could leave Maker in a bad taste”
Realized he, the angel, picked the files and ran in haste.

“Sir, May I come in!! Oh I am already in
I am through with the case and sure of thy win”
Struggled he, with loads of evidence files and stammered meanwhile.

“Well! Let us put the things together and proceed
Everyone till then pay assistant in charge required heed”
Left they, in a chopper that had banana leaves as wings

“This gal Baawri, creates a mess everytime
It isn’t you first time, brainstorming folks with dilemmas is her fun prime”
Started the conversation he, by proving his pine

“She creates something everytime, when she creates a mess
The last survey reported, her induced dilemmas are invited more or less”
Said He, smiled He, perhaps too fond of opponent was thee.

“Sir, let us get down, today in one sitting we would close the case
We would be back to business by evening in any case”
A lawyer unlike the lawyer was the angel he.

“Ok! Let us hope we convince the fellows
Wear a happy face, and greet all with smiling His and Hellos”
Gently the gentlemen proceeded for the courtroom.


Scene II
(In the Courtroom)

“Do you think our chances are genuine and strong?
Wondering I am still if framing charges against Him, right or wrong!”
A voice rose from the evidences that Baawri had hold.

“Oh! If you doubt chances, then I know single thing, something seriously wrong
Not with me, but you, who doesn’t realize how much for justice we long”
Converted the rose voice into froze, Baawri leader the bold.

“Order!! Order!! The proceedings can begin
Miss Baawri can put the charges and pour out the chagrin”
Said the judge, neither man nor angel, his original ancestry was of devil

“Till now success has been elusive and I gave it a futile chase
But now…Bless Me!! I want to win my maiden case”
Said Baawri in a tone, which was less of asking more of dictating.

“Sir, Look! How is she trying to take you for a ride
I warn you, spoilt brat is she, needs a chide”
Retorted the angel, pleading his master to be annoyed of her.

“Baawri! All good luck, all luck charms for you, you win the case
My daughter is righter to me, what can be greater a grace”
Said He, buoyed by delight, may Baawri be right…


Scene III
(Baawri’s Outburst)

“Well!! Well!! Ok! Than You! This much wasn’t asked, to be true
Your first charge is you have forsaken the right to equality
You deprived masses of equality in every term
Some you made filthily rich and some starvingly poor
Some you made blacker to coal and some fairer to snow
Your entire ideology is based on discrimination
You didn’t even bother to divide natural resources equally
You made sure that human progress unequally
Why did you create unmanageable oceans when you can’t prevent Tsunamis
So many persons, innocent ones with families, lost lives
Do you keep any account for that!!

You deprive some of us from basic requirements
Some you send on earth every year, born blind, born deaf, born retarded
So much discomfort, discontent and plight you cause!!
Human beings keep you on top, bend before you for this
Are you humane!!

You have created so many of your clones with different names
We confused humans kill each other, proving their clone as the God main
And your accounts!!! You deal them like Satyam’s balance-sheets
Murderer gets to enjoy all wealth and ease
Righteous dies of poverty, hunger and disease!!!

Look at this old woman, whole life spent turning rosary
Her husband died of alcoholism, draining what little she had in treatment and more alcohol
She brought up three sons, all left
She distributed love, and now she is bereft
Her limbs don’t work, her one eye is gone
She is old, alone, life misery greater than death, so forlorn
You won’t bless her with a lively death, but shall give a deadly life

Your philosophy is to take healthy in demand lives and leave us despondent
You are no less than a tyrant
The young mother of two infant gals was burnt alive
And you kept seeing, smiling too perhaps!!!
The two girls now beg, in adolescence shall become prostitute
What would you do?
Mock our helplessness at your ploys!
Who deployed you!
You yourself became God; nobody referred you for the post
And then you created the world, entire foolhardy

You created old age, didn’t you!!
You wanted to enjoy human helplessness
And that too when he his full of age and experience!!
Till how long you can take us for a ride!!

We are so complex, so unequal to entertain you!!
Or to kill ourselves, make a muse of us
Or amuse your court!!
Are we NUTS!!! ”

SCENE IV
(God’s Justification)

Evidences in support of Baawri were standing in queque
Their queque was enough to prove short the equator

“We have heard prosecution
The defense we would prefer to hear in continuation”
In the deadly silent court the judge’s voice came.

“Baawri, congratulations you won
May your fame shine brighter than sun
For centuries shall your name remain
I would like to have punishment decided by her for the crimes same
Before that let me conclude the meeting for which time has been spared by such a gathering.”

All became a little listless and a little alert, while Baawri scratched her head

“Inequality is born by difference in acceptance of difference
The human beings are different
They are unlike each other
They also accept and live with this difference unlike each other
Some realize their difference, while the others don’t
Look at each other, compare each other
They want to become each other
In this process they are consistently in change
Your sciences call it evolution

You guys that is the human beings form the best part of my crew
You evoluted from animal to man
A constant undying flame to better yourself
Had you been alike, thought alike, looked alike, acted alike, I wonder!!!

One of you thought of standing up than crawling
One preferred living in caves to open
One tried striking stones
And the other devised pointed stones have better strike rate in striking food
Then the unique, unlike, original, thought process of each one of you kept you guiding
Today you have come to the place which astonishes me
Inequality is your differentiation, core competence, valor, confidence
Being rich or poor, happy or sad, as a matter of time and fact, is governed by the realization of that difference.

And I am no longer interested in holding the position
Where everyone failing to recognize himself lays the blame on me for everything
I am responsible for maintaining the balance preventing the havoc
And still hundred times a day being pointed out by the race to whom I most attend to!!!
I am fed up being the God of human beings
Kindly allow me being punished for crimes against you and being a ‘tyrant’ as you said
And me be free of the ‘self appointed’ God of yours
You continue and as you chose your leaders in elections
Also appoint a God for yourself
Give me a break!!!”

SCENE V
(The Patch up)

“This gal Baawri needs to be punished
She wasted time of all of us
We have always been happy with the God
Let us make sure if we have come here
To Baawri the due for wasting important people’s time”
The folks were charging at Baawri for the inconvenience caused
Baawri, who has been till very recent the bravest leader for their cause.

“Aren’t you content with crucification of one dissimilar one
Why do you time and again want to repeat the miserable things?”
Astonished was the God, referring was he to his crucification by the inhabitants of earth when came He as Jesus.

“I am sorry God…
I didn’t do this to achieve fame or name
I am happy and content with what I am
And I am never ever challenging you
And I am ready to get punished if you will”
Baawri, held hung head in repentance and shame

“Daughter!! Ok then be God”
Commanded He at which instantly Baawri froze and rose..

“Nooooooooooo…for God’s sake
I can’t handle working without appreciation, reward or recognition
That is why I am also looking to shift current organization
But no, not being God
Get me killed but not God
Even after working so hard if somebody would point me like I did to you
I won’t be able to stand as upright as you
I will break; it is too much of pressure
You wanted me to give you punishment for messing the world
Yes I will punish you instead, rather asking you forgiveness
You be the God, you remain the God, forever, ever and ever
Because none can ever match you
None is as humble and lovable as you
It is impossible to drink all venom and provide elixir for anyone but you
I am on my knees, kindly accept thee”
Begged and commanded, apologized and punished Baawri

“Ok as you say…I will do that.
Let us go back”
Said He and called for the lawyer

“Can I come for a ride?” asked Baawri
“Well! Only if you don’t complain that God is taking you for a ride!” smiled He

Baawri sat in the chopper with banana leaves as wings to take a round of His loveliest creation, the earth and may be now she understands it better, like all of us.
