Who Is God Here? Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Who is the god here?
Whose god?
What is the work
Of this god?
Only sitting?
Only bathing?
Only eating?
What use of god here?
The word god is
Creating fear psychosis
On the living creatures.
Omit the word, god,
From the dictionary, my dear.

I have heard
God is not responsible
For any omission or
Commission of anyone here.
I have heard
God is not here
To do anything for anyone.
If it is so,
Then, what for we are
So much taking worries
For this word, god?
Some say; god realization
Should be the only aim
Of human life.
Some other say; men have to
Cultivate all the divine traits.
I failed to understand,
If everyone is free and strong
Why we are putting pressure
On them in the name of god.

I now realize;
It is we, who are the real culprits
And exploiting the innocent people
In the name of god.
And hence, take away the word, god,
From the word-books and
Say there is no god, see.
We are only here in love,
We are living here with peace
And co-operation to make
This earth more than heaven.
We are here, all creatures,
Living at the same enjoying life,
No one can compete with us,
We are our gods, we are by us,
The god is with us,
We are gods, we are for us.
