Fear Of God Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

Fear Of God

Rating: 5.0


God for me provokes the fear of sin
Do I incur his wrath if commit a wrong
Like telling lies or being mean
The fear troubles me all along!

Is he watching all deeds of mine
Keeping notes in his divine diary
If I'm grumpy or genuinely benign
Would move him to decide the key!

If at the pearly gate awaits me heaven
Or god decides the key for hell
He would surely get with me even
If tilts my vice's scale!

But I admit this fear has one good side
It instills some ponder and brood
If god's eyes are really opened wide
For heaven's sake should do some good!

If god's eyes are really opened wide For heaven's sake should do some good! No doubt Pradip......! So let us hasten to do some good to get into human hearts and also to get the key of Heaven turned to admit us in! Enjoyed the light hearted humour of this verse!

Good point! If God has time to watch our little faults, how about some action from Him on the really serious stuff going on in the world! (Note to God: This was Pradip's idea - not mine) Can't be too careful.... just in case. Ha!
