Each day a new gash on our wounds
Open-mouthed they gaze at the bloodied screen
Every wound a mark of withering unity
Every crimson symbolizing dreams being shattered
A hand flies down from there, a leg from somewhere
Is it raining death over the land that preaches peace?
With no one to turn to and nothing fair
Noble souls turning to ashes is the fees
Of riots that cause mayhem and despair
Presenting charred memories which seem never to disappear.
Long lost faith in the system, the governance
Adding to the woes and the superficial religious trance.
Under the shadow of the chains of separation
Young flowers charred beyond recognition.
To the almighty I pray, who are you exactly-
Allah, Vishnu, Jesus or Guru Nanak?
Aren’t they all your different names?
Those having power they classify your names to kill
Your own children- prey of your own different identities!
well said Divya..The almighty is same only, with different names. Just Imagine if these so called Allah, Vishnu, Jesus or Guru Nanak meets together what will happen? They will quarrel each other to prove who is more powerful? or where they are sitting? Can these leaders ever prove this? the common people are just puppets in their hands..

ReplyDeleteThank you :)
Deletebtw, nanak was a human..and not a diety.. and i believe jesus and mohammad were contemporaries of each other..so much is similar between the jews, muslims and christians.. and did you know that buddhism celebrates atheism? :D
ReplyDeleteNanak is a form of 'God' for many. I am not deeply into religious characters.I rather believe in all of 'them' being names of 'one supreme God' :)
