With gold you adorn  me
Stones block the rays of the sun 
My clothes gleam the money  you have spent to make me beautiful
Devotees throng at my doorstep
Wait for hours for a glimpse of my shadow
They hope that  miracles stick with them
Joys come to them
Money flow from all  directions
To whose side I sway 
I am pulled by the wealthy and the poor
The one legged man with tears in his eyes for mercy
The woman with cancer who is dying
The rich man who bribes me with wealth
I am just a statue 
I am not divine
I lay not in the stones 
I reside in the ever confusing riddles of the conscious mind
