Stanza 92, On The Seventh HillDr. Bulusu Venkata Subba RaoWill I be nearer to you if I land on the farthest star or much above, Above the reach of our fastest space ship, a star above, a trillion light years away or farther still, will I see you there on a throne of gold dictating the destinies of mankind : We hypocrites pray for your nearness but at heart we wish you far far far away in your divine office, who of us want you around scrutinising our sinful lives hypocrites and fools too we are how easily we forget you reside here in our own heart and all around : To the wise hell is fools' paradise |
