What Is The Truth You Are Living With? Poem by Raken Marimuthu

WHAT IS THE TRUTH YOU ARE LIVING WITH?
Stand naked in front of your Lord within
Open your heart and look at yourself
Are you an animal or a divine 'Being'
Look at the garbage of crime within
The adultery that you have committed
The number of people you have cheated
Thos who trusted, you have betrayed
The racial slur that you have thrown on others
Possessed by wine, women and wealth
Insensitivity to the sufferings of the poor
The ego and snobbishness you have shown
The wealth that you have coveted from others
The irresponsibility towards your duties
Creatures that you slaughtered for your belly
Misuse of power bestowed by God on you
The mental rape and sins that you committed
The misery of floating without a goal for survival
The pain of dying without a purpose in life
The neglect of duties towards your parents
Commandments of God that you have broken
The precious time that you have wasted
Be proud if you score high in your self evaluation
Review, repent, revive, rejuvenate and rejoice
That you are back to the fold of the Lord's Sheep
Whatever it may be live in the truth of who you are
Being conscious is the most important of all
