I know it.

What all I own will be owned by some

As soon as I breathe the last, I know.

They’d disown my body and dispose

Of it with aversion for it, I know.

Do we want such worships?

Hindus have got hundreds of gods.

They go to them for a fortune.

They go to them for a relief.

As and when or if they get them

They put the god sought as the cause.

They stick to them and make them rich.

They forgo norms, with gods backing.

The filth in them is unaddressed.

No Hindus go for repenting.

No Hindus go for reforming.

Power rules.

Older men declare war;

Younger ones fight and die.

Men on throne declare war.

Men in barrack fight and die.

It is the man made world

Where power is the judge.

Necessity of gratitude

I took a holy bath in a pond built.

No gratitude to the architect rose.

No gratitude to the provider struck.

My attention was on washing of sins.

I worshiped God made in a statue;

No gratitude for the sculpture rose.

No gratitude for the builder struck.

My attention was on favour from Him.

I was served a wholesome meal free of cost.

No attempt to find who made the arrangement.

No attempt to know who the provider is.

My purpose was on meeting my hunger.

Can God bless those who lack gratitude?

Is dying one much learned?

We learn and unlearn as we grow.

The more we grow the more we unlearn.

Beliefs, trust, information would tumble.

At the end will accumulate the unlearned.

Promises of religion

An eternal life is the stick and carrot

That religion offers as bait to people.

Follow religion; Heaven is assured.

Stray from religion; Hell is threatening.

Gone all souls either to Heaven of Hell,

Where are the new souls coming from all time?

What about the new entrants, consequent

To constant increase in population?

Holding Soul as eternal and timeless,

Could we brand souls as Past, Present and Future?

Self exists in continuum with other selves

And form consciousness uncountable.

After life is a poetic allegory

As much as those spun in mythology.

Soul of every organism comes

As extension of parental bodies.

What we call ourselves are shaped by others

And the selves of others are shaped by us.

Many atoms that circle in our bodies

Might have been constituents of the dead.

There are no eternal individual souls;

No Heaven or Hell; no incarnation;

There is only on cosmic consciousness

Which we dwell  in, and which dwells in us.

( Inspired by ‘The World as Will and Idea’ – Schopenhauer)

Secret discreet deeds

Conservatives spurn anything of sex.

They don’t talk, nor hear anything of sex.

They beam with posing chaste and virtuous looks.

Those shy in public would dare in secret.
