In our hearts and homes you reign.
Can you but stay longer,
Such that you change our practices forever?
We need you, but more in our brains,
So we can understand what are true gains.
To waste not, want not more than we need,
To succumb not to selfishness and greed.
To protect the vulnerable and the weak,
To treat equally all that breathe.
To ensure that truth prevails,
That the environment, we will not fail.
Ganesha, you prove
That a large body need but a mouse to move.
Then why do we hoard so?
Why can't we see beyond the glitter glow?
You are here today, and on 17 Sep we will you immerse,
And ask that you return soon to bless us from these waters.
But could you just ensure before you go
That we will act, we will tread the right path that we know?
Could you ensure that we know what is right?
And ensure for that we have the courage and skills to fight?
Ganesha, Mangal Murti, who needs no such form,
Ganesha, Sarvatman, Siddhipriya, help us reform.
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi, 2024!
