Devotion or Destruction

N. Seetharambai

DEVOTION OR DESTRUCTION?tc "DEVOTION OR DESTRUCTION?"

Bleeds my heart to witness human carnage
Blurring once again the twin cities image
I tried to probe into the nest of camouflage
Probably that gave shelter to the presage

To my dismay I discovered Religion
Once again sowing seeds of destruction
Man has travelled from the primitive stone age
To the sophisticated space age
But hardly could one witness any change
In his religious patronage

Fights between followers of different faiths,
Ireland in the west
India in the East
Israel in the South West
Continue to follow their old paths.

Man takes pride in setting his foot on Moon
And boast of scaling the other planets soon
But couldn’t reach the summit of religious tolerance
By accepting the Almighty’s Omnipresence.
Abominable Intolerance
Already started to derail
All human values
And the law of the jungle seems to prevail  
Oh lord, this inflammation is becoming incurable
Making life in the world unbearable

Our life is too short to wait
For the arrival of your Messiah
Delay now only converts many a Conformist
Into Agnostic
Further confounding confusion

Awake and arouse Rationality
Dormant amongst Humanity
Indifference at this juncture
Leads only to the destruction of social structure
