A
Big Question
-----------------
Love
bears
progeny carrying blood
colour
red, only red
without
any religion and caste to tow
till
initiation.
A
life takes shape,
living
becomes mandatory
measuring
up not to the reality
water
starts flowing down the veins
filth
fills the brain
actions
contrary to religious beliefs
take
center stage
inhuman
behaviour with hatred
shatter
the peace
bloodsuckers
having a ball,
"should
there be religions at all? "
A
question raised by sufferings.
Oh!
Why a Gandhi, King, Mandela
too
take birth in this world insane
facing
ups-downs and challenges
living
through neither hell nor heaven
proving
time and again
‘live
and let live'
motto,
what the God ordained.
Why
are they far and few between?

ReplyDeleteInspite of the exhortations of great men to live in peace, love and harmony and the teachings of religions to tread through the righteous path, man is essentially pugnacious, beastly and viloent, ready to kill and spill blood! Great write!

ReplyDeleteIt is not religion but the human behavior that has built in vice and virtue. Man will and can exploit any thing for its gain. Very nice poem to read and make us wonder about.

ReplyDeleteThere are always going to be people who are out for themselves only. They want the power and the glory and don't care who suffers for their gains. Thought invoking poem, well done.

why can't people realise we all come here the same way and we all must leave the same way
we would do ourselves a favor to get along and peace and harmony. God would smile on all of his creation

Yes, world peace and Humanity should be our new religion if this human race is to survive! Civilizations will rise and Civilizations fall, but the we refuses to hear Gods call! We have made all the distinctions, blaming others for our fall! Thanks, -Raj
