'Make not my Father's house
An house of merchandise'…
John- 2: 16
O Son of God!
Ever since thou left us,
We have made this world,
Thy Father's house,
A house of merchandise!
To appease our weapon interests
We created belligerence
Built distrust fought wars
Sold hatred in exchange
Of doves of peace
When dost thou come down?
Once again among us
To demolish this temple this body
Where greed presides,
Just as thou destroyed
Thy body on the cross
Along with all our sins!
When dost thou come down?
To rebuild a house of no hatred
Just as thou proved thy words that
Thou wilt raise in three days
And just as thou resurrected
As thou promised

when dost he come. we need him soon.. but only in his time.. :) good poem.
a very thought provoking poem, Kesav, and very timely too. you begin with despair, angst and frustration at what man has done to himself, and plead for resurrection. Tagore Wrote, as long as a child is born, it proves God is not yet disappointed in man. that was a long time ago, I wonder if its still relevant. i share your anguish and hope your prayers are answered. I sincerely join you in your prayers. Meery Xmas and a happy new year. Regards Mamta
Very great piece Sir... A bell to wake us up... He was destroyed but have risen again after three days... really a significant piece. 10++++ Maia
When dost thou come down? To rebuild a house of no hate wonderful prayer, very well written poem 10/10
a fitting appeal from a world so forgetful of kindness and love; caught in amassing more for oneself than the other person
and you wrote a wonderful piece here! nice choice of words!
The poem starts with a beautiful premise, an ideal, then follows the real and the last two stanzsa a wish, ahd He may descend, a hope too. I liked the style of this writing Kesav.10
