The Children of Two Gods                                  You howled and cried and I wept too
                                                                                       You were hit on the head
                                                                                       And as your wound profusely bled,
                                                                                       Something broke inside me too
              Hope this letter finds you and your family                               And as I daily pass by the same tree and the fields
              In good health, and happiness too                                        I still see you sowing seeds
              I just wanted to tell                                                    I just wish our God were one
              That now I don't love you...                                             Then it would be such great fun
                                                                                       But we were two different people
              Yes, at times, I do go to the old banyan tree                            With different Gods too
              And very softly sing the same melody                                     So I just wanted to tell
              That we used to sing together                                            That now I don't love you...
              But now it doesn't matter,
              It's been decades two                                                    And if you find this letter a little wet
              And I just wanted to tell                                                They are the drops of my sweat
              That now I don't love you...                                             Don't think they are my tears
                                                                                       I am not living with your memories dear
              But at times I watch the same train from the fields                      It's just that I passed by your old house today
              That we used to watch together while you sowed the seeds                 That was painted new
              But now I don't wave at the passengers as the train passes by            So I thought of writing a letter...just to tell...
              I have grey hair on my temples and I do feel shy                         That now I don't love you...
              Sometimes I run along the train and get breathless too
              But I just wanted to tell
              That now I don't love you...

              At times I sit alone on the stairs of the old Chapel
              Where you first saw me, when you came to pray in the nearby temple
              And sometimes I go inside the Chapel and pray for you                            ~ Harinder Cheema ~
              But I just wanted to tell
              That now I don't love you...


              Your God didn't like me
              My God didn't like you
              That is what our elders said
