GOD
Think this way too... thoughts
I know
you are a believer in God's existence,
you need Him for your subsistence;
you believe, because of Him
you have attained good position
and so you regularly pray to Him
to pay your tributes to Him.
I too believe in Gods
not the Almighty
who is invisible
but they are visible.
Your prayer sometimes
is visible to others
who may join
or leave you alone
to be in the company of God
who might also be feeling lonely
and expecting
only your worship
but not friendship.
But my prayer is
not that of yours
but is limited only
to a smile, sincerity
and dedication.
Your God
only laughs at your mistakes
for having mistaken Him
or for the misdeeds of some one
poured on you by some other one.
My Gods
not withstanding
any of my omissions
and commissions,
are there to share
my sorrow,
apart from
giving me enough strengths
to withstand the misdeeds of someone
poured on me by some other one.
Your God
expects many things from you
including the rich offerings
as advised by the priests
even in the time of your distress.
My Gods
are so naive,
they even offer theirs,
apart from sharing my stress
while I am in distress.
Your God,
priests say, cannot help you
as you are passing through
bad days, because of
some godly stars
who are in war.
My Gods
try not to remind me of bad days
but try to find ways
in my gray days.
Your God
who is invisible,
remember,
is only a force
to enable you to foresee
and He cannot advise you.
My Gods
who are visible,
are also a force
but they themselves foresee
and they advise me.
You too possess
what I possess
but you might have
forgotten to properly assess.
These Gods
have toiled to bring you up
despite their ups and downs
with the ray hope of
having your company
when they have no other company.
It's for you to see
the real Gods
in your beloved parents.
