The Holy Book

Let its light of peace
Not be shaded by
The bullets and bombs.

Let the wounds cut and shot
By some senseless
Not scatter terror around it.

Let a few blind 
Not choke it, locking it
In private drawers.

Let its words, ’’To slay one innocent
Is like  slaying all the humans.’’
Put your guns down.

Let its fields, where 
The truths and miracles ripened,
Be reaped by all.

Let this holy bloom,
Bloomed in the boundless desert,
Fill its fragrance in the rotten valleys.

FABIYAS M V
(Dedicated to Mr.Abdurab,a social worker at Maranchery,Kerala ,India who requested me to write on this theme.)

With people the words are often good..! yet the actions of many people do not seem to last in a constructive implementation long enough, ( as it is written the spirit is willing, yet the flesh is weak )

I must admit that you employ a subtle, moving, almost 'a sweep off the ground to the sky style'.

you did good. i've been looking for your name. and this is the kind of stuff i like to see you write. but for you i wish i could take you out of that war zone. but God has decided that he needed a pen to tell the heart of the people. and that pen is yours. keep writing. john

Unfortunately, the greatest crimes have been committed by people holding Holy Books on high. They wave them about but do not read them.
