Live and Let Live
We are Muslims,
we are Christians,
Jews and Hindus too;
Same blood runs in veins,
Made of same flesh and bone;
Same emotions,
Same love we feel;
God or Allah is same sense,
Word used differently,
In different worlds;
God Created humans
to live side by side;
Inscriptions say,
"Surrender to me,
And follow pathway I draw";
"Live for others,
Die for others,
And Feed the needy,
Live and let live";
Where have we lost;
Mistook guidelines,
Of God or Allah;
Reading and memorising,
Spiritual verses,
Two and five times,
Becomes the sign of excellence;
No text reading or worship,
Is worth,
Without bringing them,
Into own life;
Have we lost as human,
Defeated humanity,
For selfish avarice;
Purpose of spirituality,
Is only one,
"Live and let live"
