Dear Almighty, I pray to you
I beg you to spread your light on our hearts
hearts those have become so stubborn
they speak of you, they pretend to follow
still, there’s no love they ever feel
are you not simply love my lord?
are you not simply kindness & peace?
why do they divide your pious soul
on the basis of religion, they gave you different names
they build Temples, Mosques, Churches and Gurudwaras
aren’t we meant to sit inside – Just PRAY
aren’t we just meant to connect with you my lord
does it really matter, where we sit to pray
why your people fighting, killing each other
spreading suffering, standing behind the wall of Religion
does it not pain your heart – my lord
you love your children, I know that for sure
shall I pray to you – to bring an end to such divisions
have mercy for us all, spread your light on our hearts
to make us realize our true religion
HUMANITY and nothing else..
