Dear Mr. God! With all our anger we don’t quarrel

What did Ammanullah Think?
When the Lord crushed him?
Did he wage a war
To survive?
Was he conscious or hopeful?
Why is he not coming in my dream?
How could he go just like that?
Abandoning his duty here
How could he yield to
His command and decree?
So meekly.

Today I met his friend,
Who is also closer to Kamaiah
I recollected my cumulative
Experiences with Amanullah to him
Especially in the summer days before his exit.

Amanullah is remembered
Not merely for his scholarship
Accomplishment in subject,
But mainly for his soft-spoken
Refined, cultured and polished
Behavior as a human,

He was an embodiment of virtue and
All the good things under the sun
He was more like a son to me
A charming, innocent,
Clumsy, bright sun.
That charming face
Neatly trimmed beloved face

And all the fun he had concealed in
That mischievous smile,
Will linger in my memory for ever
Entrenched in my computer memory
Never to be corrupted
By any virus,
Or breakdown in hardware.
His life is a classic case of
Illumination and illustration of
Human values, ethics, honesty
And gentlemanly gesture andBehavior.

The gruesome death is a reminder
Even God can commit a
Grave error,
Falter in his judgment, rather
Inadvertently
He snatched away his beloved son
So soon
Unmindful of the
Injury inflicted into many hearts.

Oh unmerciful god! We can only
Lament and cry
Ordinary mortals, short lived we are,
Uncertainty of this kind
We should always expect
And yet, your madness in methods
Without any forewarning
In taking your disciple,
Make us angry and unhappy

Dear God,
Forgive us for our misplaced anger
Should not we live a little longer
To praise your glory
Of maintaining this international disorder
The complexities and chaos
Pushing the good and honest
Away from circulation?
Keeping Srilankan Tamils and Palestinians
In perpetual humiliation/deprivation

Forgive us Lord,
We are grateful to you for
All the good that still
Envelopes the Earth
A small request:
Give some bonus time for
Those who take their own time
To accomplish and fertilize the earth
Through green manure
And green technology

All great souls
Bharthi, Vivekananda, vallallar
And others,
Go early, after turning out
A torrential output
If you put Ammanullah
In that bracket, of saints and stalwarts
Then no quarrel, my dear Lord!
