Accidental Faith

Born of parents who hoped in the cross By faith a title 'Christian' am stamped But as years flew, the mind unsettled - On a single faith but probed for truth. Jesus wise a man of grit but meek Who placed love before own death Even an atheist would love him still For he spoke of justice & love alone Religion lost its charm walled by men Somany gods claimed its walls to hide Many waged wars over the caged gods Only the dead realise it's a hollow cage. Wise men always are born to reclaim Our lost values and spread only love But world never ready to wisdom share But we go on holding our selfish flags. We make religions world's worst snare To catch souls by fear and promise Making them immune to kill or curse god as cause killed more than all wars. Love is lost to bigoted self and pride Justice is lost to myths and deities We refer these to fit our power games As majority gathers muscle and rein. Citizens, let's not be callous and rude We are born in faiths we never chose There isn't a choice in mom's womb Than nestle in it's warmth and grow.
