Idol Preachers Poem by Afzal Shauq

People of the past
shouting one God...
Preachers
Proud to be called …
The followers of holly faith

But now a days
The followers of same faith,
Seem standing before
these small
and money-oriented gods
And never tiring.

But above all
in submission to these idols,
they don’t like to be named
atheists… as they are.
