Atheism

Rating: 5.0


Lord said,
Love thy neighbour
As thyself.
The corollary is
If you do not see
Your neighbour
Who lives so near you,
How would you be able to see
God, who is shapeless!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Great Malayalam poet of yesteryears, Ulloor S. Paramashwara Iyer has written, " അടുത്തു നിൽപ്പോരനുജനെ നോക്കാൻ/ അക്ഷികളില്ലാത്തോർ/ക്കരൂപനീശ്വരൻ അദൃശ്യനായാൽ/ അതിലെന്താശ്ചര്യം? '

All the religions teach us ‘Love'. Only humans promote hate, Sir. Let us renounce hate.

Becca, Becca, thank you for the great comments. Your words have become all the more relevant today, when a short-sighted dictator has proved that he can hold the world at ransom.
