Many people are not convinced
When I say it has been raining
Heavily in Rajasthan
Streets there are flooded with rain water
They argue, how is it possible?
Rajasthan is a desert
Where no rain falls!
They have to see with their eyes!
Many people smile
And they look upwards to the sky
Showing the white of their eyeballs
When I say that I’ve seen ghosts
They think I’m queer to believe such things
There’s no such thing as ghosts
They say.They know everything,
They have seen everything!
They turn their head when I say I am a soul
Only my body of flesh and bones, they see
They laugh when I say that I am a spirit
They themselves are spirits
But I’m surprised how they miss
The truth they themselves carry!
Aren’t we talking pigs if we are not spirits?
How can the eyeball people be convinced!
