CHAMELEON
Poem by Bharat P. Bedi
to clean the house, we
were astonished to see,
the maid we had hired,
come well attired
in a bright jari sari,
ignoring our look,
from her bag she
took out her dirty
stained working attire,
nonchalantly wrapping it
around her colorful
jari sari, in a jiffy
transforming herself,
in front of our eyes,
from a well attired lady,
to a casual labourer;
This sudden transformation,
jerked my mind to think,
in life we are like her,
in a drop of hat,
changing as chameleons,
since birth we are in
innumerable relations,
interacting differently
as per the equation,
as per relation’s demands,
person remains same,
we change self as per time,
as situation commands,
character changes,
need changes,
emotion changes,
behaviour changes,
reaction changes,
in a blink of an eye,
nature changes,
personality changes,
meaning of life changes,
very rare we find
God’s Messengers,
whose nature never changes.
