WILL OMAN HAVE AN ONAM FOR A CHANGE?






As to me Id is important
I thought of an Onam
Of not just a day of return
But a flowering of the prophetic
And thought about the strange coincidence
In the spoonerism behind this countries name.
Will it not be feasible that
When a prophet who would even sacrifice all that he
And his country had
To keep his word to a cunning Vaman,
One who had held
All his countrymen as equals
In whose time
There was no
Violence or danger for anyone

 Falsity or cheating

Or lies-
And everything was measured truthfully.
When Mahabali, makes his return
Even deserts would flower
The plants and life flourish
And camels that had crossed deserts
With the moisture of their faith
Swim as if their lives were not spent
Among sand dunes
And dust storms.
Oh man! Woman or in-between
A prophet then would be welcome anywhere ,
Since Iblis no more held sway
And people took to equal rights
Prophecy and God
And life would become pleasurable and enduring
Without undue toil or exploitation.
Any land could then perhaps be called Oman
(Not a bad Omen)
If Oman could also join in.
Insah Allah!
