Religion...? Poem by Nivedita Patnaik

Religion...?



Jesus, Madonna
Allah, Jehova, Buddha,
Vishnu, Shiva, Durga, Kali...
they sound the same...
evoking similar feelings...
hands join in prayer...
lips chant a chaste song in reverence....
yet so much confusion in the world...? ? ?

A ghastly bomb awaits a human
A homeless child seeks refuge
A bereft heart humbly prays…
Not a drop of tear do we shed…
Bearing our cross of life
Each one can’t be Jesus…!

Love & Faith...
what have they got to do with hatred? ? ?
Why constantly drag them
to some insane mind's
melodrama?

My world is better without the mad ones
what about you?
