848. Nowadays

Father, Father,
Why are You
So unkind to me
Nowadays?
“Daughter, not true!”

Father, Father,
Why do You
Ignore me so much
Nowadays?
“Daughter, not true!”

Father, Father,
Why are You
Not taking my services
Nowadays?
“Daughter, not true!”

Father, Father,
Why don’t You
Care for me at all
Nowadays?
“Not true, not true, not true,
My daughter sweet!”
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 17, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
