ANOUCHEKA GANGABISSOON
Man is said to be made in the image of God,
More,
He remains a God,
Fallen in his own sins,
Fallen, but well aware of his superiority
Over everything else
In a meaningless world!
But then,
If God, be like Man,
If God, carries on his arm,
A wife,
It becomes a sin
To think of God’s wife
As a battered woman,
As cheated upon,
Treated as second choice,
Meant to be kept on a shelf
For when she would be needed!
Pray,
If God complements his crown with a wife,
It becomes blasphemous
To think
That she is one who would have trust issues,
Be suicidal, need therapy
Cry all alone
While pretending to be fine in the divine society!
Why,
God, as husband,
Would listen to her,
Respect her, laud her,
Be proud of her
And would trust her
In any given circumstances!
More,
He would talk to her,
Ask her to explain of her actions,
Or of stuff which would seem
Confusing to Him!
He would treat her as His equal
As He would know, for sure,
That she remains His inner power,
Without whom He would exist not!
And if Man be made in the image of God,
Or, if he remains one deep down at heart,
Why is it that he behaves not as such
Here,
On Earth?
