Mankind's God

Not in the temples, not in the shrines, 
Not in the clergy's preaches and prayers,
Not by meditation not by trance,
God cannot be found by yogic stance.

God is deaf, God is blind,
Before His very eyes the criminals hide.
God is cruel, God is unjust, 
He tortures a saint, but yields to a tyrant.

Trust no God, trust your deed, 
With heart within, serve mankind 
Your glorious deed will fetch you a reward,
As mankind's  grandeurous God.
