all the Gods here
hidden inside the mosques,
hidden inside the temples,
hidden inside the church,
in whatever form under
human approval
That I shall
never ever preach
others to be good
instead of
being good myself,
That I shall
never teach anything
to minds young
and hearts sensible
a line of thought
that could be read
and used otherwise
in an evil way,
That I shall never
belong to a pond
Where Oceans are around,
That I shall never
possess a thread
or sect or a path
of God, however sacred
It may be,
if it belongs to
a few, instead of
to all and the whole.
I swear
solemnly by my heart
I shall never
ever be a party
to a war
Between faiths and beliefs,
Between God’s who
are followed and
Dogs love to follow,
Between the haves and
the have-nots,
Between men who
love to suppress
and women who
love to be possessed.
I swear
that I shall never
ever succumb
to anyone else’s
evil design or to
anything that comes
In the ways
of my planet,
of my society
that accepts the
Universe as one.
I swear, since seeing Your face,
the whole world is fraud and fantasy
The garden is bewildered as to what is leaf
or blossom. The distracted birds
can’t distinguish the birdseed from the snare.
A house of love with no limits,
a presence more beautiful than venus or the moon,
a beauty whose image fills the mirror of the heart.
