Interpretation
All the activities in the Universe appears to be so fake, so artificial
Is there Truth to be found in the continuum called Life?
When The Creator himself has gone in hiding, is invisible…can we expect order in His Creation?
The Universe appears to be like a marriage hall where people of various denominations congregate together under one roof
Mankutimma, in this congregation, when one can't be sure of the intentions of Man, be very careful
Did this poetry & its translation speak to you?
