God And Devil (Debate No.3) Poem by PREMKUMAR C N

God and devil
Met again
In the war fields
Of Ukraine
And started
Their debate
'You created war
In this world'
Said god to devil
''All wars are for you, '
Devil responded
'In the history
Of the world,
Behind all wars,
Either belief
Or religions
Played some roles.
All bloodsheds
All massacres
All conquerings
Happened
In your name,
For the sake of
Some religions
Or some beliefs
Or to end beliefs
Believers killed more
Than atheists
Who are second
Only to believers
In killing people.
Being devil I am
Just an onlooker
Of all fights
By believers
With atheists
Or other believers
In truth atheism
Is another religion
Founded by
Opponents of god
All of them fought
For their beliefs
Whether god
Exists or not
Or this god
Or that god
Religion killed
More than all wars
And behind all wars
There were shadows
Of religions or beliefs
Which cast its spell
To fight each other.
All wars fought
For you, my dear god.'
Devil laughed at god
And walked away
Leaving god
In deep silence
