Does Not Matter

The trees fell arrow struck

like soldiers in the battle field

Kurukshetra, Golgotha-

does not matter.

Flowers bloom in Princess’ garden

like stars in earthly forms
rosy, red, yellow, white-

does not matter.

Million couples marry,

Priest says, go and grow

as if he is the Lord God in heaven

they grew, multiplied-

does not matter.

He cried- hey, stop

life is important don’t jump off

she whimpered what life

he ditched me after holy promise,

I’ve come to lift  you  to my heart

Is your love  lust for my body-

does not matter.

Come, it matters

Love matters

Beauty matters

Death too matters

For life matters.
