Religion And Spirituality

Religion is the arch-enemy

Of humankind

Spirituality, the unconditional

Friend, it ignites the light. 

Religion is the cause of wars, 

Hatred, intolerance, 

False pride and power of every kind

Spirituality, the harbinger of peace

It empowers the users, showers bliss. 

Temples, mosques, churches

Host Satans, Molesters, 

Uniformed wolves in sheep's clothing, 

These places of worship

Display pomp and grandeur

Cruel, vulgar perpetrators of horrific crimes

Busy marketing their respective Scriptures, 

They need acres of lands with a heavy price;

While for practising spirituality, you

Need a little unassuming corner

Upon an inch of earth, underneath the vast sky

You fold your legs, may or may not close your eyes

Focus in the middle of your brows

Until the truth surfaces and shows, 

The little blinking light that spreads from 

The depth of what you truly believe

Gives you the real power to forget and forgive.

Spirituality needs to be embraced

To spread fraternity, kindness,

Togetherness with grace;

With all due respects, 

Religions need to leave, 

For the world to heave

A euphoric sigh of relief.
