WILLIAMSJI MAVELI WRITES.....

GIVE ME A CROSS
I am not the only holy man;
I am not the only blessed one;
Give me a Cross!
Neither is the rich nor poor;
Neither am I the Lord nor beggar;
Give me a Cross!
I am neither the beginning nor the end;
The everlasting, both in alive or dead.
Give me a Cross!
Slept innocently in mother’s womb
I was born in a small village camp
Give me a Cross!
As a son of a gorgeous mother
The mob put me in the lane together
Give me a Cross!
And someone opened my closed eyes,
Placed my lips to her nipple eyes
Give me a Cross!
Heavy winds of time passed
Mountains, hills I walked up;
Give me a Cross!
I was beaten up by strangers
For the sins of many others
Give me a Cross!
I sawed the seeds of good
But they gave me no food.
Give me a Cross!
