[From the Author of “Poems by Kolki – Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world]

 

Faith

(Dedicated to peace in diversity – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)

 

Peter is a Christian who believes in Jesus as the Saviour!

Prasad is a Hindu who worships Vishnu as Lord!

Rahaman is a Muslim who prays to Allah as the only God!

Abhya is Buddhist who serves sentient beings reading Tripitaka!

Adar is a Hebrew who practices Judaism in Synagogue!

…………

They were living in harmony in same community!

Doing their daily work for family and charity!

Without much worrying about ideology or supremacy!

Enjoying life well in prosperity, cordially extending hospitality!

 

Until foreigners invaded their country to make them free!

They saw destruction of their land with bombing spree!

Peaceful co-existence became nightmares in autocracy!

Enriching few betrayers as the new authority of democracy!
