God Is One Poem by Mittur Ramprasad

GOD IS ONE
Everyone says there is God
I agree instantly with a nod
Then it gets hard to understand
When everyone takes a foolish stand
To glorify their own individual messengers
Then friends become some unknown strangers
Forgetting that the message is same
When said in good lords name
When God is one like sun and moon
Bright lights shine shadows loom
In the darkness of moonlit night
In the brightness of early morning light
Everyone says we are all God’s children
I applaud loud saying amen
Then things get lost in great confusion
When everyone claims they are the chosen one
Reciting divine lines from their holy books
While swimming in waters of life’s same brooks
Flowing into different rivers joining the same ocean
Forgetting the essence of universal notion
