It Is Not Mediocre Who Retains Ability Poem by Tulsi Shrestha

It Is Not Mediocre Who Retains Ability
To manipulate truth in his favour.
So called intellectual persons had been
Misinterpreting meaning of religion & truth
From centuries for the benefits of
Only high class minority people.
They had manipulated truth
For their own benefits at the cost of
Prosperity and livies of billions of people.
Religious beliefs of one community
Are always against that of other community.
Established social norms and values
As regard caste and creed sound
Weird, aren't in favour of equality & justice.
In the name of crusade, people were misguided
To kill one another who belonged
To another religion, an intance of wild brutality.
Up to nineteen century, wife of dead person
Burned alive with her husband in hindu nations.
Widows were coerced into the pyre
For material gains, a way to inhibit them
From claiming husband property.
So called intellectual theologians were
Advocating in favour of heinous Sati Pratha.
The most horrible crime against humanity
Committed in the name devotion to ritual.
Anything should be defined keeping
Its impact in welfare of mankind.
Moral principles should not go against
Gender inequality and human rights.
The scope of change must be there
To cope with dynamic world.
Thought and idealogy of intellectual
Must be relevant with time and situation.
