Religious rituals
Take pride of place
While God is hidden
In the holy books and temples.
Religion, just a means,
Has become an end to achieve.
Man is lost
somewhere in the fight,
to decide whose God is better.
A public manifestation
Of one’s private conversation
with God, leads to mayhem.
Maintain its sacred privacy.

Somehow, religion trotted out to use as a weapon to beat other people into submission just never seems very sacred, does it? It's shocking the evil that's done in the name of good.
ReplyDeletesmart 55,
ReplyDeletereligion is very personal,

Deity is deity-none better than the other. I must agree about a bit of that divine in all of us. What a wonderful thought-provoking poem.
