On an insect climbing a plastic chair or Lok na pok

The insect climbs its great Gaurishankar peak
Slips, tries, reaches the top of the chair plastic

Skiing down, crawls on in search of food morsel
Gets it, survives shoes, goes to muse in its cell

Write its own insect poems, think insect thoughts
Lucky one, dies of old age, well lived, or sorts

Baby fights its way down, cries victory
Struggles `gainst alien force, that`s life's story

Gets grub, job, promotions, posts and power
Builds, accumulates, kills, gives favour

Name talked about in awe, in hushed whispers
A cretin standing high amidst its peers

Crowded cretin dreams, comes a sudden light
The great golden Self wakes with all its might

Or


Crowded cretin dreams, comes a sudden light
The great golden Self wakes with a smile bright

`Hello, please wait ; Pause :
Bird song reaches heart through ears
`Hi, business jerks
