Secular God Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

Numb He is, perhaps afraid of bloodbath and terror,
His light has vanished like fire without air,
Laugh and laughter become species rare,
Is the world about to see annihilation fare?

Streets are blood socked, houses haunted,
Fusillades and blasts have made life marooned,
When we have to annihilate hunger, thirst and wound,
Man is killing man to appease secular God.

Crumbling temples have destroyed home of faith,
Satan dancing over the corpses in the valley of death,
Thousands of Hindus butchered and Muslims beneath,
To illuminate their false demigods with wreathe.

Souls flying, leaving the hopes behind,
Life space shadowed by darkness of shroud,
But nowhere was visible the secular God, hyped,
Some crying for Allah, somewhere Ram looked.

But there was no respite and wisdom,
Darkness has engulfed world’s dawn,
Deputed to spared love and peace,
But spreading hatred and bloodbath drawn.

Forget me, don’t defame,
You are my mistaken name,
Foul and weak souls cursed and ram,
Sent on earth to lament their sins again.
