theology 'for' bread...

so many books on theology you have read
it filled your bag with so much bread
but why did the rooster crow for three times?
nobody knows, including you, peter and jesus...
what theology helps you to understand
the fact that stone is not bread?

tomorrow morning you will become famous
for you will write a book for us -
'the bread theology,' you name it,
'the stone theology,' your second hit.
we buy them for 300 rupees each with discount
and with love and pride you sign on it...

but you didnt answer us, did you? and why?
250 books find place in your bibliography
“one of the intangible scholarly works,”
the ‘new york times’ remarks
you fly in seventh heaven, if there is one.
news paper, radio and television,
you are the hero of the year even in cartoon

and then, it burns the eyes of your neighbour
never in life you were together
and never you tried to be either
this is red and that, black
she is veda and he, mark
here is halva and there, burger
tell me, have you tried to taste it ever?
answer me please my dear scholar…
in what way your theology is better
than the story of the babel tower?
