God Guard Poem by Narayanan Ramakrishnan

'IN GOD WE TRUST', proclaim a nation mighty,
Here, believers, in full throat, roam the city,
Throng and throw peace to please the deity;
Atheists, all along, too, turn to God by late fifty.

YOU created us and we created the HEIGHTS,
To show us the way from darkness to light,
But the pontiffs and mullahs, locked us in compartment tight,
Usurpers all, prompt and provoke, to for You, fight.

To please You and be graced,
We starve, puncture and torture our body;
High hopes in the soul we all, to the tune, danced,
Outcome, we await, however tardy.

GOD GUARD us against illogical offers,
GOD you have for us, only, goodness in Your coffers,
In pursuit of you, please, GUARD us from coffins,
GUARD US GOD, ONLY YOU CAN GUARD.
