Lost Faith Poem by Sathya Narayana

Lost Faith

Rating: 5.0


Man lost faith in fellow men;
their thoughts, acts, words and virtues!

In a world of mutual mistrust
Scepters ruled the mighty kingdoms,
idols ruled human hope and wisdom;
statutes, rules and codes etch today
vows on papers!

Words of mouth go with the wind,
and prefer we walking on jotted lines.

Man against man is pitted
in a cobweb of scribble-jumble!

Alas, orals lost credence
and writings gained muscle!
Words or writings are of what vouch
when human ethics is in pathetic crouch? !

Was this the man; the Divine did plan?
What a shame to be called a human;
sans being humane, a quality God did sow
but alas, man never allowed it to grow!

sowing seeds of sins growing them on vices watered, reaping the ultimate fruits eating them later to taste bitter in life is what mankind is indulged in...something grows some where in accordance to our deeds with out our watering or knowledge...good thinking...good read 10

The complications of the modern world where powerful intellectual thoughts have can make you rationalize almost anything I tihnk contributes to it. Back to basics, simplicity, honesty, honour, solidarity with the suffering maybe is what we need.

You have a gift with words. The end is always just the right touch.

Sathya, this needed saying and I enjoyed the way explained the greed of man. The knowledge has been there for many centuries. Plato's Rebulic 11,372-373 'Then a slice of our neighbours land will be wanted by us for pasture and they will want a slice of ours, if like oursewlves, they exceed.......limit of necessity and give themselves up to the unlimited accumulation of wealth? That Socrates, will be inevitable. And we shall go to war, Glaucon. Shall we not? Most certainly, he replied.

The evil in the world is not the Devine's plan, but he has given Man Free Will, we must all choose which way to go. We can not lose Faith. Prayer and Faith can make Miracles. I like this poem very much, it ask everyone to think about what is happening in our World.
