Religion

a poem by Satish Kakri

What is religion?
A set of rules,
That enhance the real progress
Of a society or a sect.
While those responsible for
Its origin are invariably
Invoked by the urgency
And appropriateness of the messages;
Those who strive to carry on
With the propagation may often
Miss the real message
And get tangled in the rituals
And attribute meanings
That may be of ‘their’ convenience.
