Irony of things

It is an irony to believe that Ayothya

Is the birth place of Rama, as by the time

When Rama lived around 1450 B.C.,

Aryans never crossed Punjab or beyond.

It is an irony to say that Mathura

Is the birth place of Krishna, as by the time

When Krishna lived around 900 B.C.,

Aryans never reached up to Mathura.

It is an irony to establish that Durga,

A Dravidian origin, fostered later by Aryans,

Is the destroyer of Sura padman,

An asura, a co-dravidian, among Dravidians.

It is an irony that the very Dravidian

Movement has landed in the hand of a Brahmin

And then at a hand who too had mortgaged the interest

To Aryan for sake of his dynasty.
