God is grim

God is travelling through a crumbling town
Where women burn and mothers cry.
They call them insane in rich households
They call them commodity under disco lights
They call them deserving in deep dark deaths
They call them raped on wounded faces
They call them names to burn 
They kill them wearing dark coats and raucous lies
Then, they call to hide bodies and battles.

Spread over pensive and trembling, 
God is grim.
Burying their fangs and poison 
his minions twist
in polished smiles of temples layered beliefs.
There is no nation where women lived 
They lived deities, mother, wife, caretakers, 
lovers and anonymous
in honour and lineage of forced titles
With breasts, legs and desire denied.

God keeps travelling through retreating gateways
The staircase left alone had the demon climbing lifts
The bus at night travelled through invaded morals
And the village belle had a great lot of filth.
There are women and men of portraits and priorities.
They can mask you in coffins and perfumes of darkness
They can put the garland in crocodile tears
But they live like demons when god needs unleashed
They plunge their voice in unmatched god and germinated cowardice.

Exhausted, god plunged in meteors buried.
How will god happen when your blood never seek light?
God will remain mute and grim
Like an honest woman in a dishonest household
In a voice of dissent
Separated and repelled
By ones own.
God will let go in martyrdom 
In lissome bodies, in not knowing needles and pain
And infamous screams

But God needs to reclaim you and me
In an incessant spring 
In an unextinguishable light 
In our unborn beliefs.
