Avodah Zarah
Peoples across cultures
converge in a certain place to worship.
Bringing with them the baggage of their history,
helps to understand their ways and cultural flavors.
Everyone shows his need
in different levels
with varying degrees
in quest for an answer.
Others crave for more
beyond the limit in human proportion.
It's passion for a certain need
power, money and prestige.
Like a foreign worship
that centers only on oneself
One's obsession just for self gratification
describes a temptation to prevail.
That's contrary to our calling
as men and women in the world with others
meant to be gifted to others
moved by God, the source of life and love.

Note: avodah zarah literally "foreign worship" is the formal recognition or worship as God of an entity that is in fact not God.
