Harappa to Ayyappa

By Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd – Countercurrent

 

Harappa! We are all your descendants

You shepherded the first civilization

You built the first city in the East

You domesticated the early animals

Goat, sheep, buffalo, dog and donkey.

 

You made the first pot, brick, bronze tools

You built the first tank, boat and building.

You were God’s Own Man.

Brahma came and burnt all your civilization

Indra damaged it beyond reparation

Agni and Vayu became their weapons of destruction

 

Harappa’s descendants came to Down South

Ayyappa is your incarnation in black dress

He rebuilt the Harappan civilization again in South

Now they want to destroy that Adivasi civilization

In God’s Own Country and turn it devilish.
