Theories

a poem by Anup Chandran V

Theories, everywhere
everyone stressing, emphasising, believing
the shadows that refuse to recede
clouds that seldom clears
there is god, there is no god
there is religion, there is no religion
on and on and on to talk and feel comforted
me, mine, myself, their language
glib talking their way, into the realms of a fool.
Simplicity, has but one question
why this complication?
Goodness, has but one question
why this difficulty in comprehension?
What does it matter if three letters sound God.
Why is religion, one’s inadequacies shroud.
