Cruel are the Ayats
that show us the way to be
And still take my love away from me
Hypocrites are the maulvis who think they know what God wants or who He is
Cruel are the gospels that claim to set
All of us free
If we only follow their version of religion
Hypocrites are the white-robed priests
With dark stained hearts
Pardon my boldness
I'm just curious
And have always been
My moral compass stands intact
Better than most preachers
I have met
Now, Religion has always been
a shaky ground for me
With their ever present contradictions
And the fight over superiority
Are you the only one who has a copyright over Him?
I have found
And I have realised
Religion is a wittering fool's
Favorite jewel
You can fight over whose path
is more right
But still there are people
Who cry themselves to sleep
Children who have got nothing
To eat
You go on,
It is time to preach
But how can you claim
To love God
When you have never fed
A starving child
When never has someone's tears
Made you burn
So you can go, Tell your God
How you loved him With all of you
I'll go tell mine:
Though my faith faltered
But I never stopped serving
His people

Ayat= verse from Quran
I am going to be honest. I was never a religious person. But someone just induced these doubts and fear for hell.. that I should love Him and follow the rules given in the holy book. But then I realised what kind of love it is, if you do it out of fear of hell or for trying to get heaven. Is not that greed? something that we should condemn? I'm sorry but I don't get the point of religions. I don't. And I believe as long as I do what serves humanity, He will be okay with me.
