INQUISITIVE MIND

"WHO ARE YOU?",A "VOICE" ASKED.
"I AM A HUMAN BEING",I DID RETORT.
"WHO?", IT VIGROUSLY REPEATED.
"A HUMAN", I VEHMENTLY REITERATED.

"SAY IT AGAIN", IT MADE A DELIBERATE RECENSION.
"ARE YOU HARD OF HEARING?", I COUNTER QUESTION.
"NO. NO, NO!" CAME THE PROMPT ASSERTION.
"THEN, WHO ARE YOU?" I REPEAT HER QUESTION.

"THANK GOD, I AM NOT HUMAN", THE VOICE GOES ON,
"PREY, WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE", MY ANGER SHOWN--
"THANK GOD, YOU ARE NOT GOD", THE VOICE HAD DARED;
"YOUR FUNNY RANTS MAKE NO SENSE", I, TOO, DECLARED.

"AREN'T YOU AN ANIMAL?", IT LET GO A MISSILE,
"YES, 'SOCIAL' THEY SAY", I THOUGHT FOR A WHILE;
"YOU CRAVE FOR MONEY", IT MADE AN ALLEGATION,
"I NEED NOT DENY", I HONESTLY MAKE A SUBMISSION.

"WHERE DOES GOD RESIDE?" THE VOICE INQUIRED,
"HOW DO I KNOW?", I WAS GETTING BORED AND TIRED;
"HOW ABOUT TEMPLES AND SHRINES?" IT CONJECTURED,
"I REALLY CAN NOT SAY", THE ANSWER I HAD MUSTERED.

"YOU KILL IN THE NAME OF GOD", THE VOICE WAS CLEAR,
"YEA, SO WHAT IS YOUR CRIB ?", I SHOWED NO FEAR;
"AND YOU STILL SAY YOU WERE A HUMAN?" IT SHRIEKED,
"DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER DEFINITION?" I LOUDLY SQUEAKED.

"YOU SPEND SO LAVISHLY ON TEMPLES AND SHRINES",IT THUNDERED.
"YES, WHY SHOULD GOD LIVE IN MISERY?" I GENUINELY WONDERED;
"DOES GOD NEED YOUR LUXURY?" THE VOICE HAD SHOT AGAIN,
"I DON'T KNOW; I DON'T KNOW ", WAS MY CONFUSED REFRAIN.

"IS PRIEST A GOD?" 'VOICE',THUS, BEGAN TO HAMMER A POINT:
FOR,HE LIVES IN A COSTLY BUILDING,WHAT YOU SAY IS A 'GOD'S JOINT',
IN THE NAME OF YOUR 'FAITH' YOU HATE OTHERS AND PUT GOD TO SHAME;
OH! YOU DRUMBEAT YOU ARE 'HUMAN' BUT FOLLOW LAWS OF ANIMAL DOMAIN."

"STOP YOUR DISCOURSE", I HAD SHOUTED AT THE FACELESS VOICE,
"YOU TOLD ME NOTHING NEW", I COULD NEITHER CRY NOR REJOICE;
"HEY,LOOK INSIDE AND YOU WILL FIND",VOICE GAVE ME DITRECTIONS,
"I AM ONLY YOUR INQUISITIVE MIND",FINALLY,IT MADE NO PRETENSIONS.
