Kingdom Of God Poem by Matloob Bokhari

KINGDOM OF GOD

Where God builds a house of prayer with mud for peace
There Satan makes a house of prayer with gold for war.
Where a prophet ‘words of religion are to free the slaves
There a hypocrite uses religion to enslave the simple souls.
Where angel of light burns a candle of love and peace
There demon of darkness digs a lake of fire and sulfur.
Where lover of God makes this world heaven with fast
There follower of Devil throws earth in hell with feast.
Where a saint heals wounds with gospel of love
There a logician sows discord with sermons of hate.
Where a man sacrifices his life for love, truth, justice
There a monster kills with deception, envy and wrath.
Come! O servant of Allah; O son of Messenger of Mercy
To deliver the Kingdom of God from domain of darkness.

COMMENTS: KINGDOM OF GOD

Sylvia Frances Chan: Can I say it is a haunting read? May I say that? Really, I want to enjoy reading this, but I am disturbed by the words that ends in evil constantly, may God Bless You Abundantly, Mr. Matloob. The words you create are just wonderful, but those other words are disturbing me, so I flee. Thank you so much for sharing.
