People saying very ceremoniously
Mostly they pray God,
But what do they pray in most
Had anybody ever thought?
They pray for their own
Materialistically the most!
All good and the fortunes
Should belong - only to them.
They incubate within themselves
The jealousy, hatred and ego.
They aspire a good life with fortune
Only for themselves and their own.
How many of them
pray for the goodness of mankind?
How many of them do pray
Live and let live?

People saying very ceremoniously
Mostly they pray God.
By flattering Him, praying in this way
I don't aspire to pray God in that way! !

Prayer should come from the heart in the form of gratitude and devotion! Prayers seeking material comforts is not going to be answered. God counts one's attitude more than the number of times he prays! A great write, Amitava!
Amitava, this rings true, especially nowadays where everybody wants material things or money. When they pray, you're right, they don't pray for anyone else only to get what they want, selfishly. Can vividly see why you wouldn't want to pray after seeing all that vain jealousy, hatred and greed. It makes you want to turn your head and walk away from it all. Mankind needs all the prayer it can get today. Thank you, Amitava. Another difficult subject brought to it's knees with simplicity. You are indeed a great writer of honesty and truth. You cut through the lies time after time to do so.

Pray for goodness of mankind and work for it relentlessly. Such prayer will be rewarded. Nice poem. Thank you.
Very truly said......mostly people pray for their own well being lacking in gratitude and devotion and mostly cling to selfish motives forgetting universal welfare through sacred prayer..........very well composed

I would like to translate this poem
Beautiful write Sir. You just said what I wanted to tell. Why not people allow others to live? They wanted to live happily by crushing others, by killing others will power itself. I used to go to temple regularly, as I used to feel good. But today, I stopped praying, nor going to temple. I feel what's the use, when the world is ruled by such people. I loved reading it. I can feel all the lines, as I have experienced this very well. Thanks for sharing with us.
