The Changing Perceptions – Faith Or Logic!

Changing times have led to change in perception,
Today what we appreciate, tomorrow might not appeal to our imagination,
And, if we claim to have such a progressive body & mind,
Why to safeguard irrational ideologies that turn us insane & blind ?

The deep influx of inoblivious practices,
Firmly dominate the thinking tanks of masses across many third world abodes,
Have reduced the thinking of society to complex lattices,
Bringing the modern logic & irrational faiths at crossroads.

No wonder why faith & logic are belligerent,
The bases of their formation are very different,
If the basis of logic’s evolution is scientific methodology,
The other is backed by irrational ideology,
One speaks of understanding and applying our own potentials,
The other promotes believing in unreal credentials.

For all of us who believe in changing the world,
The logic is not mere an attitude or perception,
It provides trustworthy & befitting solution,
To all problems that emerge out of our inhumane action.

For the time runnin’ & that’s to come,
The perceptions will change for many & remain intact for some,
There will be minds who’ll prefer following logical trends,
& there will be others who’ll eagerly join blind faiths’ hands,
The choice is simply ours!,
Whether following the blind faiths prevalent in older times is justifiable?,
That , in modern times, sooner or later gonna leave us unable!
