In Tomsk, there's angst;
About a Scripture in fame,
That man goeth against;
Truth, is verily a shame.
"Consign to Siberia",
Oft' heard as nowhere;
But with a new criteria;
'tis here now somewhere !
'Cos to ban they chose,
The Gita - a love tale;
Then Of souls there arose;
In India, a gale !
To surrender soul and mail,
For pure Love is amiss,
The Gita doth detail;
'Cos religions' no bliss !
How be it extreme ?
For a father's such care;
Now, He is the Supreme,
& In Love 'tis all fair.
Extremist notion,
prosecutors foist;
Religious commotion,
The world doth hoist.
But take to Law & Court,
Gods words like cream;
Subject to those by rote,
Is far extreme! par extreme !
