Subroto, your poem suggests that you are an agnostic! Our lives may be to a certain extent pre-destined, but like all good sportsmen we need to put up a good fight to the finish, with all our flesh and blood...

I can only say what I feel and I feel there is no God. Does that make me a villain? That's what I must know.

I agree with you, sir. We can utter a thousand words but only God knows what's inside our heart and soul. Very inspiring and well-penned! :)

hi sir...first thank you soo much for the comments you left on my poems.... . ''Do I believe in God? God knows' hey this is a nice piece indeed..... now i wanna believe too that there is some one out there who will guide me through all the difficulties, life's gonna put me through... but Buddhism teaches that no one is out there to help us...we have to achieve everything by our own courage..which is a hard thing indeed....and it also teach us if people go in search of who created the world and the genesis, they ll get mad...happened to me too....for instance i go to the beach and think..did god or some one created this beautiful waves? ...then i get mad.... well fact of the matter is most people who search about evolution and some scientists are sort of a outta their mind indeed..i mean some say i m a bit of a lunatic..lol.....well this subject can go one forever..but there is a great metaphoric value in bible though...nice one sir... regards shan

Many questions remain unanswered in our lifetime and often no question has any particular answer. That's the mystery of life!

Still I find a question in this answer. That's the beauty of this poem. Its a question of life time Existence... one has to find a meaning for it One has to find the reason for it. Rest, the question itself, yeilds the answer. Thoughts thoroughly provoked. May have to do some more reasoning. Thank you.
