A Real Atonement! Poem by Ramesh T A

After committing all absurdities many seek atonement;
Many rush to religious shrines giving donations endless;
Also many give funds for running charity institutions;
Can the sin committed be cleansed by such acts? Never!

Educational institutions too they have not left untouched;
Due to their good efforts education has been commercialised!
Whatever they do for atonement only accrues sin further;
They have not left poetry websites too and dominate the show!

Due to such atoning works original and real artists suffer;
Whether it is art or literature or poetry trashes thrive now
Leaving genuine masters in doldrums in many websites ever!
In every walk of life actual and quality works are disgraced.

Real atonement is possible only if they honour real authors
Serving for mankind as guides to attain fulfilment in life noble!
