RELIGION

Wonder and thunder of mystery,

Religion exists far and wide,

In every heart of all colour and creed

With fear, with reverence, with knowledge or ignorance.

Critics moan: it is not science, it is not seen, and it is not proved,

East to west, up and down, religion exists

With deep and great trepidation and admiration.

Questions remain answered or unanswered

What? Who?  Where?  How?  When?

Answer is there: God as a transcendent being, messiah, the creator, the preserver

Redemption, Mokshya, enlightenment, Nirvana

Always guides us humanity in the right path and pace

Love, peace and fraternity of all caste and creeds.

Every religion advocates: Murder is sin but why there is murder?

Every religion tells: no adultery, has it happened?

No theft or lies, is the teaching of all religions

But is it really true or are they teaching lies?

Either you read Bible, Veda, Tripitak, Torah, Koran or Grantha

All teach love, peace and fraternity among all humanity

Do we see anything happening?

Like the saying in the religious teaching

Comes the questions from far and wide

Each and every responsible religious preacher

Would say: our religion would not preach

The barbaric butchery of any soul

We believe in peace and so we teach.

Has it happening today:

In Afghanistan and in Pakistan, in India and in China

Gunning down in Europe and America

Happening here, there and everywhere

Murder fidel or infidel

Is this the religion?

Is this you teach?

Religion is peace

Religion is love

Religion is brotherhood

Religion is friendship among all faiths

Can we not pray?

Brahma, Bishnu, Buddha

Krishna, Christ, Confucian

Mahesh, Mohammed, Messiah

Gurnanak,   Allah, Isah

Sai, sage, saint, nun or nymph

We pray you all

Make us realise the truth and not be fool
