Two Apples

In the garden of 'Shappales'
I once saw two apples

I ate the first one
Lo, there I became a politician…

I got interested in things
And the things of all kinds

People flocked
Jesters rocked

I got the horn of plenty
But my inside got empty

Oh ,what apples
Of the garden of Shappales

In the garden of Shappales
I now saw the other apple

As I tried the second one
Lo, there I became a Nun

With my name
Only to give a damn

Inside my self
Devoid of pelf

I loved poetry
The mystics and the mystery

My outer got doomed
And the inner flower bloomed

Oh what apples
Of the garden of Shappales


As I was leaving the garden
I heard a voice so golden..

Echoed in my ear…
and it said, “listen ,no fear

oh man, in this garden of nature
don’t bring your mind to torture

when your mind settles
there will be no two apples”
