Is God really blind?
Herojit Philem *
Tonight, if I were to die
My soul will protest against gods,
He will hold a meeting
Where all the gods must attend;
Will raise dashing questions:
Why compelled to leave the world?
You all know-
I don't drink, eat any toxic things,
Nor responsible for any crime;
Why don't you call those rowdies?
You all may be afraid of them
As hoi polloi do.
Just gaze down
Over the torn bed sheet
A corpse bears the winter chill soullessly,
He don't have even a friend to accompany him
But those decoys have many
You give them money- they do as they like
Solitary corpse in his lonely life
You didn't give such wealth to fulfil his dreams;
Are you blind, God?
