Religion

Jumping on toes..

As I ring the bells..

Stood at the door..

With folded hands..

Eyes on my deity.

For in the temples.

She dwells..

Smelling the fresh..

Flowers..

With a tinge of firewood..

Vermilion mesh..

On my forehead..

Colored red.

Carvings in stone..

Said artistic stories alone..

Where souls..

Found peace.

When moments cease..

We steal puddings..

Getting into..

Gruesome fight.

Yet the essence of delight..

In the end..

It wasn’t worth ones plight.

A smiling beggar..

Hugging her baby tight.

The floor seems frivolous..

With devotees hurdled in tonight.

Seeking hideouts..

We utter play outs..

Hymns chanted..

Getting louder shout spouts.

Running into every corner..

To explore..

There’s worship behind every door.

The crowd multiplies..

Pride denies..

With subtle cries.

Kneeling down..

Touching the floor with their head.

Many hearts bled..

As they remember the days of dread.

Under every hood..

As we close our eyes..

The religion which binds us all..

Is Childhood.
