Creation Poem by Amir Khosro Alai
Creation
I would like to state my thoughts,
As an attempt to remove my doubts,
God's mud playing and his six days hold,
Is it the imagination of man as a story told?
The Lord who created the world thus found,
Was he short of creatures in mankind?
What was the purpose of creating Adam and Eve?
Then the Satan and the angels, so to believe?
In a world no one knew what shall be,
Did Satan knew the evil and so could see,
The future of man and his deeds,
His thoughts, emotions and his creeds,
Lure me with heaven, scare me with hell,
Is this all Moses and Mohammad could tell?
You tell the difference of holy men and devil,
I tell you the common among them and evil,
Muslims, Genghis, Hitler and Stalin kill,
One in the name of God, others by a bill,
Was that God the creator and writer of books?
Or man created god and formed his looks?
Did God made man in His simile and looks?
Or man created god in his image, wrote the books?
Believe not the belief as both bear a ‘lie',
Listen to your heart as hearts don't lie,
Religion was created to dominate the mind,
Mind your religion before it is too late to find,
That the belief revealed not the truth to fit,
But, tainted your mind with factious myth,
Once in a mountain burning in the Moses tree,
Enters a cave with Muhammad, no one could see,
Sends a sheep to Abraham, kill not your son,
Yet, orders Muslims to kill the profanes so on,
Allah knows not that in the neighboring land,
His definition and words were different in hand?
God is not a motive to shed the blood,
Rule the world in his name, ride the cloud,
God is compassion, mercy and grace,
What others say is not for me to brace,
My friend Robert is definitely taking the modern secular humanist view of things, and being raised and taught in this society I understand where he gets his principles. But I find your poem very moving: you were borrn into a religious context not a secular one, and you are wrestling with issues that are called FAITH and REASON in the West. I would never presume to lecture you on the rightness of the western ideology. My stance is one of humility before the ancient wisdom you carry as a birthright. Your poem which is carefully and admirably developed is proof you are actively engaged with the truth. I admire your sincere efforts. It's similar to what I try to do in my life too.
