Prashantha rayaru
aa dodda mahadevaru
'shivam, shantham, advaitham, chathurtham, manyanthe
veda nada idu shivanondige
but to me shiva poor
is a scrap collector
in company with scavengers,
bhootha pretha pishachaadi strangers
he has scrap value
i rate him true as zero value
wears hardly a rag ,
only a piece of leather tag
a beggar in the street
a gulping all dirt visha as amrit
always keeping eyes close
may be for a photo pose,
if i see him, my words fail
if i hear him,stops my wagging tail
