Proud To Fool And To Be Fooled
Since the world itself is stage of drama
And mirror we view is made up with
Crystals of hypothetical expressions.
Nothing is totally right and totally wrong
Its accuracy relies on eyes of beholder.
The way you perceive and the way you think
Makes it right and wrong like relativity of truth.
In reality, we feel proud to fool and to be fooled.
Make you believe in sacrifice of animal as a part of worship
Physically Hurting yourself & fasting to please Almighty
Practicing celibacy against law of nature
Advocating in favour of polygamy
Trying to embody divine spirit in stone image.
Burning widow with dead body of her husband.
All these beliefs sound rational and logical for you
While worshiping with basket full of Fruits
You don't feel any accountability towards
Beggers begging outside temples.
Until and unless your beliefs based on humanity
Are not practiced, the world can't enrich.
For personal and benifits of specific community
And privileged class, truth is created from
The immoral seeds of false.
Manipulated truth is terrible than false.
How horrible and painful you may think
When Human is sacrificed to regain super power.
Blood stained history makes us feel shame.
Misguided person feels proud to kill humanity.
He needs to know how he was manipulated by
Evil spirits for their hateful motive.
How odd to get watched a girl marrying
With more than one, somewhere a girl along with
Her widow mother gets married with same boy.
So weird and Indigestible practices these are !
How long as a human you let others to fool you
In the name of religion and custom.
And you feel proud to be fooled.
