The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh reaffirms its goal of building a ‘glorious’ Ram temple in Ayodhya.

The makeshift temple created in stealth
after destroying the pre-existing Babri mosque in December 1992
no longer fulfills the desire of the greedy Hindutva nation.

They tell us the God resides everywhere
If (s)he does, why could (s)he not in the old structure called Babri masjid?
If that structure was nothing but a ‘dhaancha’, never a mosque as VHP cries coarse
why destroy it?

Ram lalla is no longer the hero
Nor an androgynous grown up version.
Only an adult muscled Ram with six pack and stern face attracts.

You see, size matters for some
and a small one will not do;
only a big large one can satisfy them.

For those counseling accommodation
you really think there is a size that would ever satiate the pornonationalists called Hindutva?
