Religion Vs Humanity

What is that we seek for,
Is it religion in humanity that we aid for?
Truth and Sanity have been granted for 
Yet heaven is what we yell for

Ye knew that human is a complex,
That’s why no one knows some of its darkest secrets

Million Killed and now You talk about Religion?
When the least you could have done is the be more human.

It has become a universal shame
When we now don’t know whom to blame
When it all is just a game
When we realize , its insane
Its all going to be over and flow down the drain

People yelled for help, they seeked Him
They cried for Him , they assured with money
But does funds suffice, Thee?
While truth may seem bitter to a few, for some,
Funds are as sweet as Honey

Alas ! It is true, they both coexist,
A future being built blindly, in which
We must exist

It seems ridiculous watching how one can be so sure
Oh, I almost forgot, Religion has no cure.
Humanity is so sure
That Religion will never , end the WAR

Walking along a temple, a mosque or a church,
I hear peace, feel faith, and understand Life

Yet I feel afraid, that in vain if my emotions over exceed
I may regret myself of doing an evil deed.

What is evil? What is good,
I am unsure, not knowing what I should,
If too much of good can be bad
Why not too much of bad be good?
Will I ever realize what I would?

It is an unexpressed feeling
Where sky does not determine the height of Thy Ceiling
Faith provked cannot be harmonious
Whilst we yet live in a society that is hilarious

Fraid that I cannot talk to Thee,
Yet all I ask “Is your mind set to be free” ?
If  we can pray to the sun and lie under a gun,
All I ask is WE to be ONE
