She Has Come!

Maa Durga

-by Pratyush Parashar Das 

 As a curtain of darkness lies over the city, the melody of several speakers announce Her Arrival,

For She is the Ultimate Goddess, Enemy of Evil and Mother of All,

The air all around vibrates with joy and deep reverence as Nature bows its head,

So do all her Children who travel with Her, sleep soundly in her Bed,

Now shall light be borne out of darkness, and Truth shall hold sway,

For it is time for the Victory of Good over Evil, 'tis indeed the Day,

So let us all bow down and acknowledge Her Greatness, for She is the Divine Mother,

Blessed by the Universe, forged in the heat of Battle, and there is no like her, truly no Other!
