UNIVERSE OF MATTER


Did I think first? Did
I create thoughts? Or
Did I create 
Matter?
Does it matter? 
Be it dark or light! 
Yes it does!
Cause I want to know
Who thought about
Singularity?
Yes, yes.....if it really happened
Then someone really had
To be thinking hard!
Imagine thinking of creating
The Universe and the Universes,
The planets and the moons? 
An ethereal imagination, from
A mass of energy?

But does it matter...
If matter came first or was I even thinking of
Creating matter?
I never thought of creating the Sun or 
The Moon!
No never! 
Or the Earth for that matter! 
The stars? Or is it the light coming
From other Suns 
From the beginning of the
Big Bang?

I was thinking even before I was born
In my mother's womb....
Of a World I knew that existed! 
Of a World that was more 
Humane!
But I remember I definitely didn't think of 
Creating bloodshed
In Pothorughat, Nellie, Kokrajhar or in
Ganeshguri....
Or Khagrabari?
I didn't dream of killing my brothers I would have
Known
And laughed with!
Where I grappled with an incomplete 
Dream 
With my Krishna! 
"I created! And you?"
His blueness definitely 
Made me articulate a
Jazz number!
My people weren't pleased,
And they ensnared me in a web of
Hate!
Christened and embalmed in 
Religion! 

Did I matter when I died 
Consumed in flames
To turn to molecular matter again? 
To return to 
Infinity!

I ride on time 'cause it is you who created 
Time!
I thought, I created, I procreated, 
Yet I succumbed to the follies
Of men! 
Ah, he is so cruel, so inhuman...so
Insensitive! 
To my wounded, stained, open palms..
My lips barely speaking
As I lay on the 
Streets!
Hopeless, homeless?

Only to treacherously create
The Democrat!
Me?
Yes! 
Does it matter? 
Yes it does! 
Cause I will now create
A world 
My people know not of!
The deafening silence of hatred 
To be replaced by the songs of the
Lord! 

But then, will it matter if I create a temple or a mosque to worship my Creator to be trampled in bloodshed? Who will know that I created the river and the hills which are no more only to be replaced by the eerie silence of a graveyard?
