The biggest invention
Who are you? She? or He?
Unknowable but known, as a belief per se
Emerging out of fear, death, destruction, loss
Agony, pain, suffering, surprise, puzzle,
mirage, miracle and many more
Hope of the last resort
The ocean, sky, stars, dawn, dusk,
autumn, spring, bloom and breeze
and all the rest is attributed to you
Beyond evidence, reason, logic
Purpose, perceptibility and probe
A phenomenon, beyond comprehension.
You are a human invention
Deeply dwelling in the minds, inseparable
And clinging like breath and beat
Till the last moment
As illusion to explain the unexplainable
Rooted in limitations of time and space.
You exist in imagination,
Coming out as stories, episodes, discourses,
preachings, sermons, worships, convictions
reflecting an attempt for perpetual publicity
popularized from the times immemorial
Much before the discovery of fire
Tyranny, injustice, cruelty, tears, cries,
Hunger, misery, are the order of the day.
Where are you? If at all you exist
It seems your invention is a cruel joke
With complete spiritual indoctrination
Breeding flawed faith, trust and belief
