A letter to God

 

GOD

God! 
This world has changed
A lot
Since the day 
you made it.

You made nature
and humans came with it.
You made processes
And techniques came with it.

As Inquisitive individuals
Humans have left all animals behind.
they are more than them
they are the social animals.

Capable of thinking and doing 
forever new things
They made kind of 
small gods out of themselves.

Who could to some extent
Control almost everything
but you-
You are incredible.

You show your presence
hither and thither
sometimes
out of nowhere.

You make humans realise
The Ultimate Truth
YOU ARE 
the creator after all of 
Everything in and around them.

You still play upon their lives
in the form of destiny.
YOU ARE 
still in control.

For it is only YOU
Who can provide solace 
Who can lift us up 
from everything mundane.

Rich Gods, Poor Gods

 

Rich Gods, Poor Gods

Gods have become rich 
now-a-days
They dwell in magnanimous structures
Shine in glittering attires.
There is a smile on the idol's face
That more or less seems to be a smirk
With gold and silver all around
They are covered with currency garlands
The flowers around lend an intoxicating smell.
And in those surroundings
They seem to be born with
Silver spoons in their mouth
Big temples, big gods!

I wonder
Are these gods the same
who dwell under banyan trees,
in chowks
and on hills
with only their flags visible
Who knows
if it is a temple at all.

After all
The human race 
has gone a step further
God created humans
humans created class
and they have now
classified the Gods as well!
