I am no more the substance, but you still are the spirit

I am no more the substance, but you still are the spirit

Why do we suffer alone

And celebrate together

Why is it that meanings are lost

And the contexts only matter

How is it that we fear the  Kaali so much

And yet when Deity  is in front,

For her forgiveness, we clamor

Why are we not sure ever

What is that which we seek now or after

Why is this vain hope of surrender?

Will incompleteness not survive this storm

Of uncertain streams and undecided norms

I know how does one placate the priest

Offer the flowers, kneel on ground and say

I am no more the substance, but you still are the spirit

You will have your way, no matter what the world would say
