Is There A God? -A Sonnet From 'Indian Sonnets' Poem by Syed Faizan

One day I met my own mortality,
Saw vicious death was virtues sole reward,
Oh! Must, at last in dark absurdity,
Both good and evil end, 'Is there a God? '
And then I saw the angry face of sin,
That pulpits, public squares and pens applaud,
The voice of truth that lay entombed within,
While untruth reigned without-'Is there a God? '
And as I walked along I met my fears,
Fears meaningless, fears that I must record,
In lonely verses inked in lonely tears,
In tears that cannot fall-'there is no God! '
Then Lo! I heard the answer of true love,
'First look within O ye who look above! '
