Our dark desires make us play with fire,
Even then of them we never tire!
They make us do things brutish and weird,
In the darkness of our minds are they reared!
We pander to our darker selves with pleasure,
We feed our carnal longings at leisure!
Insidiously do they spread their tentacles through our mind,
In their mighty coils they tend our soul to bind,
Still of them we do not tire
Because the devil in us loves to play with fire!
Even as to be good we pretend,
Our shadowy creeping yearnings inside tear us and rend!
On this sacred occasion of Lord Krishna’s birthday,
We see of hope a beckoning ray!
O Lord! Help us transcend the dark crevices of our mind
As you play upon your divine flute and mesmerised we walk behind!
