THE SOOTH SAYER



With a parrot in the cage
and a pack of cards on which
the images of gods are print
He, the sooth sayer
was on the footpath.

A Youth in suits stopped to watch;
the cage was opened,
the parrot came out,
took a card in it’s beak.

“Sree Rama with bow and arrows!
Fame and Wealth” prophesied the sooth sayer.

Handing over a note from the purse
The Youth in suits walked away.
There was a sudden explosion
Blood splattered in the street!
