O! Madwoman

Is it true, the news I heard

that you trespassed and shook and tried to uproot the bust of Virupakshya: an eastern Oedipus?

A mere character of someone’s imagination.

To whom we deityfied

and became slave to the legend.

What an anarchism to envy!

What a courage to tribute!

your deed truly is a chimera,

A selfless insurrection, dedicated to show,

“The the strength of a door lies in our credulity,

Or else, the termite infested door

Would long have been trespassed.

Or else, Virupakshya would long have been reduced into mere stones,

and its lower part

Would long have been exhumed.”
