Know

“I was inspired to write KNOW one evening when I was having dinner in my flat (alone of course) when I saw a phrase with an enlarged letter “KNOW” flashed on TV. KNOW Look around I hope you will see Wherever, whoever you may be Give and forgive and stop the blame Don’t you KNOW we are all the same? Here, there and everywhere Untimely death everyday Sadness and sorrow we create Don’t you KNOW premature fate? Time and time again Greed makes us stake claims Resist and detest come what may Don’t you KNOW that’s what HE says? Myth and mystery of the Almighty Spawned countless deities Buddhist, Hindu, Moslem or Christian Don’t you KNOW it’s alright to question? Day and night so predictable The long road uncharitable Where’s the stop or destiny? Don’t you KNOW that’s a mystery? Material world so adore Never enough but more and more Material world immaterial Don’t you KNOW it’s superficial? Gather around and say the prayers Are you there we can’t wait forever Patient my child says the priest Don’t you KNOW you will be in the list? What’s the difference to live or die? The living pretends, dead don’t lie Be true to yourself and all the rest Don’t you KNOW that’s Divine’s test Cultures, civilizations in tatter Will this world get better? Talks and negotiations supposedly civil Don’t you KNOW we are the devils? Children full of hope and promise Time passes but none can insist Future’s bleak, time unforgiving Don’t you KNOW the pain of living? Truth be told once and for all Is there GOD to salvage our soul? Show yourself and show us how GOD, don’t you KNOW the time is now Look around I hope you will find Salvaged souls and remnants of time In the scripture nothing is masked If you don’t KNOW you are an ass Jit H.
