The biggest invention

Who are you? She? or He? Unknowable but known, as a belief per se Emerging out of fear, death, destruction, loss Agony, pain, suffering, surprise, puzzle, mirage, miracle and many more Hope of the last resort The ocean, sky, stars, dawn, dusk, autumn, spring, bloom and breeze and all the rest is attributed to you Beyond evidence, reason, logic Purpose, perceptibility and probe A phenomenon, beyond comprehension. You are a human invention Deeply dwelling in the minds, inseparable And clinging like breath and beat Till the last moment As illusion to explain the unexplainable Rooted in limitations of time and space. You exist in imagination, Coming out as stories, episodes, discourses, preachings, sermons, worships, convictions reflecting an attempt for perpetual publicity popularized from the times immemorial Much before the discovery of fire Tyranny, injustice, cruelty, tears, cries, Hunger, misery, are the order of the day. Where are you? If at all you exist It seems your invention is a cruel joke With complete spiritual indoctrination Breeding flawed faith, trust and belief
