And The God Said Not In My Name

By Ayush Pharasi

IS THERE A GOD, IS THE QUESTION WHICH HAS INTRIGUED HUMANKIND?

THINKERS/PHILOSOPHERS HAVE MADE EFFORT TO FIND THE ANSWER

SOME FOUND AGONY, SOME FOUND PEACE, SOME FOUND ECSTASY AND SOME FOUND FAME

ANIMALS NEVER BOTHER TO KNOW ITS CREATOR OR THE PURPOSE OF EXISTENCE

PLANTS NEVER BOTHER THE SAME

HUMANS HAVE FOUGHT WARS IN THE PROCESS

AND THE GOD SAID, NOT IN MY NAME

HUMANS ARE INTELLIGENT SPECIES, HUMANS ARE EVOLVED ONES

THAT COMES WITH A BARGAIN THOUGH

THEY CAN’T LIVE IN OBLIVION; THEY HAVE QUESTIONS AND THEY SEEK ANSWERS

SMARTER HUMANS ARE THOSE WHO ASSUME ANSWERS AS THEY SEEK

SOME COMFORT THE MANKIND, SOME MAKE THEM WEAK

HUMANS MADE THE GOD AS WE KNOW, IS THE BLAME

AND THE GOD SAID NOT IN MY NAME

THEORIES AND INTERPRETATION EXIST ABOUT THE GOD AND ITS MIGHT

TOPIC WHICH REQUIRED GREATER COHESION HAS FOUND MOST DIVIDE

EVERYONE STICKS TO HIS BELIEFS WITHOUT GIVING ANY CONSIDERATION TO OTHERS CLAIM

AND THE REAL GOD IN PAIN SAYS, NOT IN MY NAME

THE COSMOS IS INFINTE AND BEYOND PERCEPTIONS OF HUMANKIND

THE CREATOR OF SUCH AN EXPANSE, HOW CAN IT BE YOURS AND MINE

THERE CANNOT BE JUST ONE WAY TO CONNECT TO THE GOD

LET THERE BE MULTIPLE WAYS TO INTERPRET GOD

LET THERE BE NUMEROUS WAYS FOR HIM TO BE DEFINED

COZ THERE IS WHERE IS OUR BEST CHANCE TO FEEL HIM

INSTEAD OF CALLING HIM YOURS AND MINE

DO WE REALLY NEED TO BOTHER ABOUT THE CREATOR?

DO WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHY WE CAME?

OR SHOULD WE JUST FOCUS ON OUR LIVES AND ENJOY IT LIKE A GAME

HERE COMES THE BASIC NATURE OF HUMANKIND WHICH CAN BE PROBLEM AT TIMES

HUMANS HAVE QUESTIONS AND THEY CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT ANSWERS

FINDING THE PURPOSE OF LIFE REMAINS THE BIGGEST ONE

GENERAL MASSES HAVE BEEN EXPLOITED BY PPL IN POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL POSITION

FOR PERSONAL MOTIVES, POWER, NAME AND FAME

AND THE GOD KEEPS THINKING WHY ON MY NAME

FREE WILL IS THE GREATEST BOON AS WELL AS THE GREATEST CURSE THAT HUMANKIND POSSESS

BOON AS IT HELPS US EXPLORE, EVOLVE, CREATE AND SURVIVE

CURSE AS IT ALSO BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN US AND KEEPS US RESTLESS

WHEN GOD GAVE US FREEWILL, HE WAS PRETTY SURE

WE CREATE OUR OWN PROBLEM, MIGHT AS WELL FIND A SUITABLE CURE

SOLUTION LIES IN UNDERSTANDING THAT ANSWERS LIE WITHIN

SOLUTION LIES IN UNDERTSANDING THAT THE POWER RESIDES INSIDE

WE CAN BLAME OUTSIDE FORCES OR RUN AWAY FROM OUR PROBLEMS, BUT WE CAN NEVER HIDE

GOD HAS ALREADY BLESSED THE HUMANKIND WITH THE BEST OF ABILITIES

LET’S USE THEM TO CREATE A BETTER WORLD A BETTER PLANET, SO THAT WE DO’T COME UNDER PRESSURE TO SHIFT TO MARS AND CONTINUE TO ENJOY WHICH IS TRULY OURS

INSTEAD OF FIGHTING AMONGST EACH OTHER, LET’S DO THIS ON GOD’S NAME

SO THAT WHEREVER HE IS OR WHOSOEVER HE IS, FEELS PRIDE ON ITS CREATION AND NOT SHAME
