Universal Religion Poem by Rajendran Muthiah

Universal Religion



Your forefathers great
lived in huts or caves
wearing rags and barks
and roaming like dogs.
But you are in flats.

Your grandmothers
wore bangles of ironand copper.
But the Japanese now
dared to make 'bras'
worth eight and a half crores.

Once People went by
rumbling noisy slow carts.
But now they fly in cars
and flights laugh at distance.

Your parents heard songs from
valve radios and then transistors.
But you play now on a keyboard
as you have multimedia computers.

Once you began to rely on
the Vedhas, Bible, Koran, Grandha, ...
But still you bear one in a hand
and a gun in the other to scare.

When people of all the cults
live side by side in this world,
you don't have a broad mind
to merge them into a single,
simple, peace preaching holy book.

A lone prophet in ancient days
got light to design a cult for his clan.
But several prophets sit idle in UNO
without finding a religion universal.
