In Praise Of Togetherness Poem by Varghese J Kuttikat

Puritans, devout and determined, declare:
''There is no crown without crucifixion''
Only those who dare Hell can inherit Heaven
What perplexes humans is, there is no guarantee
The crucified mortal would win eternal crown
The subtle voices shout out in derision:
''What fools these mortals be, all would end in vain''
Victims of the Evil one groan in frustration:
''Life is full of sound and fury, signifying nothing''
O Lord, let us sing and soar up in exaltation
We exalt thee that we ourselves be exalted
None of us would retire alone into blissful heaven
We accept the tie of common doom,
May our mortality slip into immortality benign
