do i play games with you, O Kaali
when you defy the rules of piety
become angry and only see my vanity
WHAT DO I TELL YOU,
look away and do not waste your compassion
my tears and toil are beyond your comprehension
why should i pray to you in solitude
how can you ignore my fortitude
i have decided to defy you again,
you may warn me, and tell me of pain
that I court time and again, and again
but do i therefor stop asking you to bestow your grace
you try your trusted ones, by embellishing their mace
with all the trials and tribulations
that one has to accept as a part of your compassion
