VISHWAKARMA : SONNET 167

                   Vishwakarma 

                                 Sonnet 167

He is the builder of the Universe 

And therefore Vishwakarma is His name;

He has built the Earth, her splendrous neighbours

Inside the boundless Architectural Frame.

And earthlings worship Him in most devotion

For motors, mansions, mills, all mundane builds;

But more construction goes with more destruction;

To spoilage, wastes, do drain all Lordly yields.

If construct does He, whoe'er destroys?

Whoever brings forth cyclones, floods and quakes

And hands out mortars, missiles, bombs to guys,

That down each harbor, home instantly breaks?

If Vishwakarma, then there's One to honor 

Who will touch not Lord's resources, labor.
